Chocolate - Schools' Proms with players from Fantasia Orchestra
The Henrietta Barnet School
led by Will Dollard
Supported by DaCapo Music Foundation
27 June 2024
By invitation only
This year’s Schools’ Prom is entitled Chocolate and involves almost 400 children from 10 local schools. Working with original material especially composed for the mix of voices, Proms takes singing workshops into schools, leaves materials for the schools to work on, and follows up with final rehearsals and then performance when all schools come together. The performance day gives every child a chance to shine, singing in small and large groups and accompanied by musicians from the superb Fantasia Orchestra. It is a high-quality experience and performance and the Prom has become an important part of the local schools’ calendar.
