Norwich School is delighted to be taking part in a new project, Connecting Cultures, which boasts an incredible line up of worldwide cultural music concerts, with musicians and artists from Bulgaria, India, Venezuela, Zimbabwe and the Middle East. The events are set to take place over a two-week period beginning on 28 February for the first two weeks of March 2022, performing in historic venues across Norwich.

Norwich School will welcome the London Bulgarian Choir to Norwich Cathedral on Friday 4 March, for a special concert which will take us on a journey around Bulgaria, exploring the landscapes of the voice and the creative traditions of this land.

As part of the project, pupils from Norwich School will take part in workshops and perform with the London Bulgarian Choir on stage, allowing them to explore both their own identity and that of individuals from other cultures. Norwich School is one of five schools included in the cultural education outreach programme led by Music Worldwide, which was made possible through funding from Arts Council England.

Caroline Speca, Head of Making Musicians said: "At Norwich School we are lucky to have a wealth of talented musicians, however this amazing opportunity will offer them something they have never experienced before.  As a teacher I am very excited to learn more about the huge variety of musical cultures and how to incorporate this learning into my teaching of not just these selected pupils, but also all pupils within the Norwich School community. We are looking forward to working and performing with The London Bulgarian Choir."
