PITCH-PERFECT students from schools in and around Colchester took part in a “wonderful” singing project inspired by climate activism.
Roman River recently took its Let’s Sing Letters To The Earth initiative to Braiswick, Bures, Lexden and Langenhoe primary schools.
Children in Year 4 participated in a series of workshops led by lead animateur Anthony Baily, who helped the mini musicians write their very own songs.
The talented youngsters then took to the stage and performed their compositions in a special show alongside a professional string quartet.
The tracks were inspired by a book called Letters To The Earth, which was written by theatre-maker and climate activist Kay Michael.
The children, therefore, were also invited to write their own letter to the planet and took part in a multimedia art workshop led by local sculptor Julie Cuthbert.
Charlotte Bazgaou, producer at Roman River, said: “Watching the school performances was a such treat.
“The children were all so enthusiastic to share the results of a wonderful, collaborative singing project.
“There is plenty of talented singers and songwriters in our schools, and thanks to Roman River friends and supporters we are able to provide fun, engaging and educational music projects such as Let’s Sing.”
Roman River promotes the best in music and the arts for the enjoyment of all members of the community.
The annual Roman River Festival will take place in and around Colchester September 27 until October 2.
