The Really Big Youth Chorus

For the sixth year in a row, the award-winning Scratch® Youth Messiah returns to the Royal Albert Hall just before Christmas, showcasing 1,500 young singers from youth choirs all over the country who come together to sing Handel’s Messiah with professional orchestra and soloists.

Voted ‘Best Classical Music Education Initiative’ in the Music Teacher Awards for Excellence, this vibrant performance features children as young as six or seven making their contribution to the Hallelujah Chorus as they sit alongside more experienced young singers who perform the complete work.
