Magna Carta Musical Includes 200 Young Singers
Magna Cantata is a brand new children’s musical that has been devised to tell the story of Magna Carta, making it accessible for children and adults alike.
The performance has been designed for a chorus of around 200 young singers over four nights with different local schools participating each night. Children will contribute their thoughts about a modern day charter of rights as part of the performance.
Involving school children in such a high profile project and venue will give the Magna Cantata great prominence and ensure the support and involvement of the children’s families. For many, it will be their first experience of such an event, and the audience will gain in their knowledge and understanding of Magna Carta. The work will then be available to schools more widely as a free resource to perform their own school-based version.
