Schools choirs and music groups or a class of up to 30 children are invited to Osborne House on Monday 24th November for a carousel of Christmas activities! You will have the opportunity to perform in the Durbar Room, have a tour of the ground floor of the house and take part in some Victorian Christmas craft activities. If take up is high we will also offer the opportunity for schools to take part the following week on 1st December.
As part of this project we have commissioned two new songs from composer Pam Wedgwood which we will workshop with you prior to the day in school to learn and perform on the day alongside the other schools. You can find the songs and resources in the Songbank from the end of September. You are also welcome to perform another song of your choice to the other schools on the day which could be something you have prepared for Christmas concerts or anything you have been working on this term - all are welcome, although this is optional. We will not have a full band or sound set up sadly due to the delicate nature of the Durbar Room but we will have a piano and be able to play backing tracks.
Our proposed timings on the day would run from 9.30am - 2.15pm with the opportunity for parents to drop off and collect children on the day to save on transport costs where possible.
Sign up for the visit and free vocal workshop in school spaces are limited to 3 schools per day via the button below (link to come soon)
