Choir at The Hackney Schools' Gala Concert
Choir @ The Hackney Empire January 2025
Tuesday saw our amazing Upper Phase Choir performing to a packed house at the world-famous Hackney Empire at the Hackney Schools' Gala Concert. We had been specially invited to perform alongside the Hackney Borough Youth Choir and a number of other schools, closing out the first half of a stunning concert. The brilliant singers did Rushmore so proud, and received a humungous cheer at the end of their performance.
The concert also saw separate performances from fantastic Rushmore members of the Hackney Borough Youth Choir and Hackney Training Orchestra (please email music@rushmore.hackney.sch.uk if your child is in Year 4-6 and would like more information about how to join these groups), as well as many very familiar ex-Rushmore faces appearing with their secondary school bands, orchestras and choirs.
We were also very pleased and grateful to receive an award from the Mayor of Hackney, Caroline Woodley - our fourth Mayor's Music Award in four years! Funding will go towards building a piano/keyboard ensemble, adding to the list of musical opportunities for our talented young people.
A massive WELL DONE to everyone involved in the marvellous concert, and a big thank-you to all the families involved for picking your child up so promptly at 8pm at night in Hackney Central...
