More than 1,000 schoolchildren from Bucks will be travelling to London to perform in a Celebration Concert at the Royal Albert Hall next month.

The event, at 7pm on Tuesday, March 14, is organised by Buckinghamshire Music Trust to showcase the musical talent and achievement of young musicians from across the county, with more than 1,000 young people aged from six to 19 taking part.

The concert will feature variety of ensembles, groups, and choirs, including performers from three Music Centres, four county groups, and a massed choir of 17 secondary schools. Guest musicians from partner groups in Bucks and Slough Youth Orchestra will also take part in the celebration.

Bucks Music Trust director Paul Guenault said: We are thrilled to bring together such a talented group of young musicians for this unforgettable event.

"The Celebration Concert is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our young musicians and a celebration of the power of music in their lives."
