Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Singers and school choirs perform to Gaia at UCL East

Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ 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 Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ’s new music studio, the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Singers and Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ 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 Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ 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 Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ and UCL event marks the first of many exciting collaborations.
