Wednesday 26 June 2024 - Together in Unity: Sing for Sefton 2024
​
600 local primary school children from the Borough of Sefton joined together to sing their hearts out at concerts held at The Atkinson Theatre, Southport in June 2024. Each of the eleven participating schools had choral workshops prior to the event, led by musicians from Ex Cathedra, an internationally renowned group who provided dynamic, original songs aimed to inspire the love of singing. Part funded by our charity, in conjunction with Sefton Music Service, the event was declared a resounding success.
