What is the Young Supporters Concert?



In November, we will be back at the Royal Albert Hall, working in collaboration with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra to provide young people with an unforgettable musical experience and raise vital funds to help us make children safer, happier, healthier and more hopeful.
Our aim is to provide opportunities to inspire, develop confidence and create amazing memories for hundreds of young people across the UK every year, using music and participation to improve mental health and wellbeing whilst helping us raise money for our work with disadvantaged children and their families across the UK.
Over 1200 young people from across the UK will come and sing together to raise vital funds for the children and young people we support. Changing lives and changing futures through music.
This year our musical theme will be ‘Hope’, and our audience will enjoy both massed choir and orchestral pieces which will celebrate some of Britain’s most adored classical pieces of music. We also hope to welcome some guest solo performances.
Young supporters from across the country will join with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Artistic Director, Benjamin Pope, to raise funds needed now to support our work across the UK to change childhoods and change lives.
Our Host will once again be our president, Natasha Kaplinsky OBE.
