Programme Note
This special concert marks the 50th anniversary of The King’s Trust and celebrates its work supporting young people across the UK.

The evening opens with a baritone performance of a movement from Joan Armatrading’s first choral work, followed by soprano performances from the same work. A solo piano performance follows before the concert concludes with the second orchestral performance of Symphony No. 1 by Joan Armatrading.

Presented in an intimate concert setting, the evening brings together music and celebration in support of this important milestone for The King’s Trust.
