Abbey parents enjoyed a visit to Eton College on Tuesday 15 June to hear the Junior School Year 5 girls sing at the annual Royal School of Church Music Young Voices Festival 2010. The Festival is an opportunity for young people from schools and churches to join together in song in fabulous venues across the UK. It offers an inspiring musical and spiritual experience for all participants, and a chance to develop vocal and musical skills under expert musical direction.
The festival is a Voice for Life outreach event. The Voice for Life scheme is one of the RSCM's core educational programmes, which exists to encourage, support and promote singing in schools, churches and the wider community.
The service for 2010 entitled All God's People was held at Eton College: a festival service for young voices celebrating God's gift of diversity. It included hymns old and new, and songs which Upper II girls enjoyed singing, as well as readings and prayers.
