Wednesday 14 December at 6.00pm, Clore Ballroom, Southbank Centre.

In Harmony Lambeth and Southbank Centre are delighted to invite you to this very special concert given by the young performers of In Harmony Lambeth.

This is the inaugural concert given by three new orchestras, Purcell Orchestra, Holst Orchestra and Stockwell Children’s Orchestra, which have developed out of In Harmony Lambeth’s programme of work on the Lansdowne Green Estate and in three Lambeth Primary schools; St Stephen’s CofE Primary, Herbert Morrison Primary and Wyvil Primary.  Over 450 children, aged from 4-11 years old, are currently involved with In Harmony Lambeth.

A celebration of dance! involves 80 of these children, and they will be performing immediately prior to a concert given by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, a partner in the project.  Their programme of dances takes inspiration from LPO’s evening performance of Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony. Members of the LPO will be performing alongside the children, to mark the start of a new mentoring programme between the LPO and In Harmony Lambeth.

I do hope you will join us at Southbank Centre in celebrating the wonderful achievements of the young performers!

Please RSVP to z.boltonihl@lambethmusic.co.uk by Monday 12 December. The performance is free and unticketed.
