Building intergenerational connections at Christmas
12 Choirs of Christmas supports mental health and wellbeing by partnering community groups for people aged 50+ with primary schools across London to create 12 intergenerational choirs. Each choir will be supported by a musical director and have three rehearsals before they perform their Christmas concert in the auditorium at The Old Vic.
Teachers and group leaders will also have the opportunity to attend an additional musical training session to support their professional development.
The concerts are free and open to friends, family and the local community.
