The opening concert included a breath taking 1800 infants and juniors performing in the Royal Festival hall singing songs arranged on the theme of aspiration. There followed another three days of concerts which featured, junior and senior orchestras, choirs, contemporary ensembles and special guest performances. In addition to the schools performing, there were also partners from the Lambeth Music Network and the first Lambeth Music Festival education conference which was delivered by the London Music Masters. The theme explored in the conference was transition and progression for young musicians in Lambeth and included Head teachers, arts organisations, parents and music providers. The festival provides huge opportunity for the musical community of Lambeth and performing at the Southbank Centre is a hugely rewarding experience for the young musicians as it is for the proud families, friends and teachers who attended the concerts.
