More than 3,000 young musicians have taken to stage at London’s Royal Albert Hall as part of the annual School Proms.
Lasting three days, from Monday to Wednesday, November 10 to 12, the event saw school and youth music groups, orchestras, choirs and other partnerships perform specially commissioned pieces.
Among the highlights on the first evening, 650 young people from Calderdale performed a Qawwali – an energetic musical performance of Sufi Muslim music and poetry – by the late master Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.
The work, Tumhein Dil Lagi, explores the themes of equal opportunities, community cohesion and right versus wrong and the costumed young people chanted the cries of war in between verses while clapping in the Qawwali style.
