The sound of music reverberated across Redcar's Tuned In! arts and media centre when 13 school choirs dropped by.
In the first Tuned In! Choirs Festival, 493 students signed up to sing a variety of songs in the purpose-built young people’s centre.
Choirs from Wheatlands, St Paulinus, Belmont, Galley Hill, St Gabriel’s, Brambles, Bankfields, St Mary’s, Pennyman, Ings Farm, Normanby, Skelton and Dormanstown schools all performed in the cafe for members of the public, and to adjudicators in the performance suite.
Schools then took part in workshops using a range of technology.
A variety of music - from hymns to hip-hop - was performed. Students from many secondary schools and colleges also supported the event by working with the young people.
Yesterday’s festival was organised by music teacher Chris Nixon, who has arranged several high profile music events across the borough over the years.
The Mayor of Redcar and Cleveland, Councillor Vic Jeffries, said he felt “privileged” to attend.
