Year 6 children were invited to Wyvern Academy alongside schools from across Darlington to participate in a Messiah Project as part of the Durham Vocal Festival and Durham Music Service.
The project was to compose pieces of music inspired by Handel’s Messiah but with a modern ‘twist’. A workshop was led by members of the Orchestra for the Age of Enlightenment before the performance and then all the children came together to sing, listen and appraise various pieces of music.
This was a wonderful opportunity for the children and they thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
