In 2009, we teamed up with the National Centre for Early Music and Sing Up! to produce a series of Schools' Matinee workshops and concerts with young people across the country. Hundreds of school children were introduced to pieces from the Choral Pilgrimage programme in a series of interactive workshops, before they joined The Sixteen and peers on stage in their local cathedral for an exciting final performance. Participating schools were selected by the NCEM and The Sixteen.

As we enojyed this project so much we have recently set up our own Schools' Matinee scheme, which in 2012 will involve over 1000 junior school children from Croydon and Peterborough. Watch this space for updates on our progress!
