Children's voices fill Holy Trinity

HOLY Trinity Church resounded to the voices of 350 year three and four pupils from primary schools across Stratford on Wednesday, 15th June.

Over the past two months, Benedict Wilson and Rebecca Sampson, from Holy Trinity’s Music Department, made visits to Bishopton, Bridgetown, St Gregory’s, Shottery St Andrew’s, The Willows and Stratford primary schools, teaching the children two songs, which, on the 15th, the children came together to perform to a capacity audience, consisting of family and friends. In addition to the two rousing, combined songs, each school took it in turn to perform by themselves, each school singing full of energy and sounding terrific!

The Vicar of Holy Trinity, the Reverend Patrick Taylor, said: “It was wonderful to hear the sound of the children’s voices filling the large and beautiful space of Holy Trinity. “They sang with such energy and enthusiasm, it was a joy to listen to, and the many parents, grandparents and other supporters, who came, clearly enjoyed all the performances.

“It was also great to see children from different schools across the town joining forces to sing together in harmony!”

Benedict Wilson, director of music at Holy Trinity, added: “To have that number of children singing together at the top of their voices, in front of so many people, was simply fantastic.

“All the children should be so proud of themselves, and are a real credit to their schools. “I would also like to thank the staff at all the primary schools for their support and encouragement in this project, which we, at Holy Trinity, hope to organise again next summer.”
