Liverpool Arts: Last Choir Standing finalists reunite

THE finalists of BBC’s Last Choir Standing are reuniting this autumn for a pair of concerts.

Liverpool’s Sense of Sound will be joined by Wales’ Ysgol Glanaethwy to perform pieces both together and separately.

The first event takes place at Liverpool Cathedral on November 3, with a repeat at Venue Cymru, in Llandudno, on November 24.

Ysgol Glanaethwy are regular winners at the Music Youth Festival , where they have received seven Outstanding Performance awards, as well as attending festivals all over the globe in countries including Switzerland and China.

They recently won the youth category in Budapest’s Musica Mundi Festival and have been named ambassadors of the Llangollen Festival.

Musical director Cefin Roberts says: “Sense of Sound made such an impact on the members of our youth choir on Last Choir Standing.

“Today we have a completely new ensemble of singers and I know that these new members will have the same joy of listening and working with such a diverse and amazing choir.

“We are also excited that we will be singing a few songs with Sense of Sound in the concerts, and hope that this will create a new synergy of sound and music making.”

Liverpool-based Sense of Sound are one of the UK’s most successful contemporary choirs, and have collaborated with many major artists including Brian Eno, Imogen Heap, Damon Albarn and Paco Pena.

Musical director Jennifer John says: “Whenever I hear Ysgol Glanaethwy sing, my heart opens a little more.”
