It was with great excitement that we announced the participation of children and students across the Trust in the inaugural Shires Multi Academy Trust (MAT) Carol Concert, held at the beautiful St. Stephen’s Church, Church Green, Redditch. This festive event brought together talented young performers from all six schools within our Trust, each contributing to what turned out to be an unforgettable evening of music and joy.
On the day of the concert, the children gathered at St. Stephen’s Church for a rehearsal at 4pm. Their dedication and enthusiasm were palpable as they prepared for their performances. Each school took the stage to perform individual pieces, showcasing their unique talents and hard work. In addition, there were several joint performances where the children came together to create harmonious and uplifting renditions of classic carols. The audience was also invited to join in on a selection of congregational carols, adding to the festive atmosphere.
The concert was not only a resounding success but also a truly heart warming event. The children performed brilliantly, captivating the audience with their musical prowess and festive spirit. The evening was a testament to the hard work and dedication of both the students and their teachers, and it was a special moment of unity and celebration during this wonderful time of year.
The event was not only a celebration of music but also a testament to the generosity and goodwill of our community. Donations, which were generously given and gratefully received, will be shared between the church and our MAT charity, The Grace Kelly Childhood Cancer Trust, supporting vital work in the fight against childhood cancer.
We are incredibly proud of all the children who participated, and we extend our heartfelt thanks to the parents, teachers, and staff who made this event possible. Here’s to many more successful and joyous celebrations in the years to come!
