Concert Poster
Rounding off the 2010/2011 year for PYS, our summer concert “Music from the Movies” was performed at the Fleet Community Centre.
We were joined by Hampton Vale Primary school; and were really pleased to be able to continue to strengthen our links with local schools.
A big thank you to Anne Byrne, Head Teacher, for the support she gave to the project and especially to Helen Yeeles the school choir’s Music Leader.
It was a wonderful evening and lots of fun as always; with a very high standard from both PYS and Hampton Vale.
The Mayor of Peterborough was our very special guest for the evening; a standing ovation, from the Mayor and her consort, demonstrating just how special this concert was.
Listen to the BBC Radio Cambridgeshire interview with the choir advertising the concert. Well done to those who volunteered to help promote the event by saying a few words.
