A Concert for Winter

Schools and community groups from across Southwark will come together at Shakespeare’s Globe to take part in Globe Education’s annual A Concert for Winter.

The concert will be a festival of music and song which will celebrate the work and creativity of the local community.

Among the groups taking part will be the Blackfriars Nightingales, a singing group for people aged 50-plus; Learn to Uke, a 40 strong ukulele concert band; the Borough Market Warblers, a group of traders, trustees and staff; the Thursday Singers from Southwark Cathedral, and the staff choir from Shakespeare’s Globe. They will be joined by students from nine Southwark schools, who have been working with their teachers to develop their teamwork, improvisation and performance skills in preparation for the concert.
