ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Singers and school choirs perform to Gaia at UCL East

ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ and UCL are partners in East Bank, the UK’s newest cultural quarter at the heart of Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. In the lead up to the opening of the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½â€™s new music studio, the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Singers and ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Symphony Orchestra are collaborating with three east London schools, Bobby Moore Academy, Hillyfield Primary Academy and St Winefride’s Catholic Primary School, exploring music-making in these communities.

On Friday 6 October 2023 around 100 children from these schools performed with the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Singers in a celebration of planet Earth at the UCL East Marshgate building. The backdrop for the performance, entitled Earth, Air and Moon, was the magnificent 8-meter wide Gaia globe artwork by Luke Jerram that gently spins in the building’s vast atrium. This ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ and UCL event marks the first of many exciting collaborations.
