School Voices - Bath Festivals

Working with the Bath Festivals, this project has been planned for two years and involves ten schools from across the Bath area. 

Royal High School Bath is working in partnership with Beechen Cliff and St Marks and are working together to rehearse and perform together at the Bath Festival this summer.

Aims

Draw students together around a creative, community building project.

Teamwork, collaboration with a wide group of peers.

Musical performance experience.

Experience the enrichment and pleasure of performing music to a wider audience.

Background

The organisers of the Bath Festival asked Royal High School Bath to become involved in a creative community project to culminate in a mass choral performance at Bath Festival.

We are readier than ever and the value of working with students from other schools across Bath is more important than ever.  The value of community and performance is immeasurable.

Resources

RHSB has contributed £500 to enable match funding to be raised. 

We are committed to bringing a group of students to the workshops and performances and our Director of Music is working with students from other schools to develop performance skills.

Impact

100+ students will be directly impacted by this creative and enriching experience.

Royal High School Bath Music staff will benefit from developing cross-school links and being engaged in this initiative.

 

Pupil Involvement

Over 100 pupils from both independent and state schools in Bath, aged 11 - 13.

Frequency

This is a programme of song writing workshops leading up to rehearsals and performances at St Swithin's Church and the Forum.
