Welcome to our Double ‘County’ Celebration I am delighted to welcome you as we celebrate the amazing talent of young people in
Warwickshire and I am very proud that the Warwickshire Music Hub is able to provide a
platform for such talent. These are interesting times for music education and I am reminded of
this line from A Tale Of Two Cities by Charles Dickens:
‘It was the best of times, it was the worst of times’.
Sadly there is little doubt that music education in some schools is reducing as schools feel
somewhat forced to focus on English Baccalaureate or Progress 8 subjects.
However, it is also true that some schools are fighting hard to retain a broad and balanced
curriculum and to keep arts in general and music in particular as high profile subjects.
It should also be recognised that the Warwickshire Music Hub benefits enormously from our
Arts Council funding that enables us to maintain our fantastic network of music centre groups;
culminating in the high standard of our county groups.
Our two ‘County’ concerts feature groups representing what we all believe in; allowing our
young people to find their talent and have a platform in which to ‘show off’ that talent to us
all.
We are delighted to welcome the choir from Campion School - representing around 200
schools that the Warwickshire Music Hub supports every year. The fabulous Warwickshire
Choristers represent the value of partnerships within the Hub as they set the highest possible
standards for boys’ singing in Warwickshire. Vocal Generation does exactly what the name says
– bringing together singers of all ages to share the sheer enjoyment that singing offers
everyone.
Our County groups continue to thrive and thrill us all with their wonderfully high standards and
it is particularly exciting to welcome two very new county groups – the County Guitars and the
County Chorale.
