"@BBCathedral was built by ordinary people. Hundreds of people who saved their pennies in a special box in their living room to help build it."

A wonderful evening @bbcathedral - thank you to @Paul_McCreesh and @GabrieliCandP for this opportunity. Hearing so many young singers performing together, whilst being introduced to such incredible music, is really powerful. Looking forward to more projects in the future!

'A Grand Georgian Christmas' in Blackburn! It was fantastic to hear so many young singers from Blackburn and the surrounding areas filling the beautiful @blackburncathedral last night🎄✨

In @bbcathedral we heard from our young singers and local Music Hub leader Carolyn Baxendale about how singing together is about SO MUCH MORE than the music🥰
