Well done to these musicians who sang with Gabrieli, a professional choir and orchestra, at York Minster last Friday in their performance of ‘A Grand Georgian Christmas’. They even got to see a Serpent, a type of early tuba! What an amazing experience! @HaxbyRoad @GabrieliCandP

Monday, we were privileged to sing in the #Roar24 performance @ExeterCathedral. 97 of our students joined 100s of others to perform with the wonderful @GabrieliCandP & @Paul_McCreesh. The power & joy of creating music that is both high-level and accessible! Thank you Roar!

Amazing to be part of #Roar24 in Truro with @GabrieliCandP & @Paul_McCreesh today as our pupils and choristers took part. (Didn’t realise I’d get to sing as well (and get a t-shirt!))
Powerful and moving. What a glorious and essential thing for children to do. More, please.

We had a blast in @TruroCathedral yesterday!
It was fantastic to hear 250 Cornish children singing a glorious programme of Christmas music - some familiar, some less well-known - with Gabrieli’s professional musicians.
Thank you to all who joined us 🎉🎄

In Exeter on Monday, our young singers and our Creative Directors, Charles and Emily, told us how Gabrieli Roar choirs are greater than the sum of their parts. And just you wait until the end 🥰

The beauty is working at mixed levels: older teenagers working with Gabrieli, leading younger or less experienced singers! All joyfully united in song ❤️

What a privilege to be listening to the incredible @Paul_McCreesh prepare for tonight’s @GabrieliCandP Roar concert at York Minster with literally hundreds of young people. Already a mighty, beautiful, rich, glorious sound
