Christmas Wokingham primary schools' concert
Over 400 Wokingham schoolchildren will bring The Loddon Valley Leisure Centre to life with festive cheer at the annual Wokingham borough primary schools’ carol concert to be held on Sunday, December 9 from 7pm.
Wokingham Borough Council’s Mayor Cllr Annette Drake will host the evening and all proceeds from the sale of programmes will go to the mayor’s chosen charity, which this year is Building for the Future. This is an umbrella group of five charities that already work with disabled children and their families locally: Peapods, Friends of Ryeish Green Bungalow, Mencap, Wokingham Autism Spectrum Partnership and Friends of Bridges. The charity’s vision is to provide a state-of-the-art building to cater for children’s individual needs as well as for community groups.
Some 22 local Wokingham schools will form the choir and have spent many hours over the past few weeks rehearsing for the annual event. The schools involved are: Arborfield, Newland and Barkham CE Junior, Bearwood Primary, Crazies Hill CE Primary, Farley Hill Primary, Grazeley Parochial Primary, Hawthorns Primary, Keephatch Primary, Lambs Lane Primary, Loddon Primary, Nine Mile Ride Primary, Palmer CE Junior, Radstock Primary, Rivermead Primary, Robert Piggott Junior, Shinfield St.Mary’s CE Junior, St. Pauls CE Primary St Sebastian’s CE Primary, St Teresa’s RC Primary, Westende Junior, The White House, Winnersh Primary, Woodley CE Primary.
Berkshire Maestros Corelli Orchestra will provide the music for the concert and the children will sing a variety of songs including ‘White Christmas’, ‘Angel’s Carol’ and ‘Away In A Manger’ to name just a few. Musical director James Baker of The Berkshire Young Musicians’ Trust will conduct the choir and the 50 strong orchestra, who will also perform instrumental songs including ‘Sleigh Ride’ and ‘Christmas Festival’.
