Coventry City of Culture Vocal Programme - The Cultural Cantata - for Coventry schools

Coventry Music are very proud to finally release the resources for the City of Culture Vocal Programme “Cultural Cantata” by Kevin Stannard and Rebecca Thompson.  This is a musical celebration of famous Coventry people and places as part of the City of Culture celebrations. 

Many of you will be used to participating in the “Morning of Music” projects, well this is the FREE replacement for this year with some special “Big Sing” style events planned for the summer term where we will be inviting schools to come and perform the songs with us with a live band and lots of other surprises!  We will be informing you of dates as soon as venues are confirmed so you can plan this alongside other events in your schools’ calendars. Ideally, we want every school in Coventry to be involved with at least one of the events we have planned either as singers or for older pupils as instrumentalists.

Performance dates will be:

Big Sing Live event – Butterworth Hall, Warwick Arts Centre

Wednesday 29 and Thursday 30 June 2022

The Big Sing Live event gives children the opportunity to sing the songs they have learnt in beautiful surroundings, with other school children, accompanied by a live band – which will include instrumentalists from secondary schools and Coventry Music tutors.

Full details have been sent out to all schools, if you haven't received them including a booking form, please contact us at music@coventry.gov.uk
