City of Leeds Youth Music Festival at Leeds Direct Arena!

On Tuesday evening, 7 of our year 5/6 pupils sang at this incredible event in Leeds Arena. They were part of the Primary Schools Choir comprising over 400 children from 46 primary schools. They were chosen for their passion and commitment. They had prepared well and sang brilliantly. The evening showcased many of the music bands, orchestras and choirs organised by Artforms across the city. Allerton CE is a Champion Music School in Leeds for its commitment to Music. One of our children also featured in a video clip promoting the Saturday Music School where she takes Creative Song writing classes.

Here they are singing beautifully on the very front row!

Many other brillaint musicians, choirs and bands performed. It really was a show!

We made it on the big screen too!

ACE talent show

This afternoon Year 6 organised a KS2 talent show. We had many wonderful performances and it was brilliant to see so many children showcasing their different talents. Everyone performed very well and they were very encouraging to each other. It was a great show!

Here are some of the musical performances for you to enjoy.

Music Concert

Wow! What a day for ACE! Today, KS2 had an amazing time going to a ‘gig’ in the main hall! They listened to a live band from Front Row Music who played all of their favourite songs. They danced, sang and enjoyed experiencing a live music concert. What a brilliant experience for everyone involved.

Young Voices – rehearsal

This afternoon and into the evening 30 children from across KS2 took part in Young Voices Choir Concert at Sheffield Arena. What a brilliant and exciting time it was! Take a look at some pictures and videos.

We met the conductor David who got us to warm up our voices and bodies before rehearsal. 

Warming up

After being all warmed up, we’re ready for our dinner and for our adults to arrive to watch us perform!
