Beacon Voices Christmas Concert

In December our Children in Care Choir, Beacon Voices, performed in front of a packed audience of carers, family and LCC staff at Attenborough Arts Centre.

The choir members had been practising really hard all term, and had the opportunity to show everyone the Choir’s own touch to crowd favourites such as Hey Brother by Avicii, Eye of the Tiger by Survivor, and Santa Claus is Coming to Town. Audience members had the opportunity to join in and sing along to some of the songs with the help of choir members. The evening ended with guests and young people tucking in to a selection of festive snacks and some fun group games. All in all a great way to enter the festive season and break off for the Christmas holidays on a high.
