BP Pulse Live in Birmingham was filled with thousands of young singers including pupils from Newfield Park Primary Academy in Halesowen, who took part in the Young Voices concert, one of the largest children’s choir events in the world.
After months of rehearsing songs and choreography, the pupils performed as part of a massed choir featuring thousands of children from primary schools across the UK, bringing together as many of 9,000 children. The event featured live musicians, special guests and a professional sound and lighting setup, giving children a taste of performing on a major stage.
Steve Payne, Principal at Newfield Park Primary Academy, said: “Seeing our children up there, giving it their all alongside so many others, was a moment of true pride for everyone at Newfield. They’ve worked so hard, and it was wonderful to watch them grow in confidence, enjoy themselves, and come off the stage buzzing with excitement.”
Founded in 1992, Young Voices has grown into a nationwide movement, welcoming more than 200,000 children and teachers each year. Its mission is to inspire a lifelong love of music, build confidence, and provide children with a sense of unity through shared performance. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the organisation, which has become a cornerstone of primary school choir singing.
For pupils at Newfield Park Primary Academy, the concert was a chance to showcase months of hard work, develop teamwork, and experience the excitement of performing as part of a national event that celebrates music and community.
