On the 21st of September the Burntwood school Chamber choir performed at the British Museum for a cause called: One Day One Choir. They had performed on national Peace Day, singing together to bring everyone as one.
Peace Day and One Day One Choir founder, Jane Hanson, created the event for everyone to celebrate the coming together of people and making peace not just within the world, but also ourselves. The event makes everyone around the world come together and sing their hearts out. Currently the One Day One Choir scheme has over one million supporters and counting.
Since the scheme had started in 2014, they have had a lot of supporters and a lot of different singing groups have joined in and sung together in more than 50 countries. The aim of their scheme is to create the largest singing choir in the world, singing for unity and peace.
After the event, I asked a few questions to Burntwood Choirs conductor, Debbie Lammin. She says that, “People can learn to love themselves and others and bring peace to the world by singing.” Ms Lammin also mentioned that, “Joining the scheme not only builds confidence but also a range of different skills. Such as communication development and people understanding.” I talked to one of the many choir singers, she expressed how, “The experience is amazing. To be able to sing for such a great cause is very memorable.” You can now see the Burntwood Choir singing on their website.
The Burntwood Chamber Choir will continue to perform later on in the month and supporting the One Day One Choir scheme. They will be performing on the Women of the Year Lunch on 15th October 2018. Following onto that, the Choir will perform alongside the Pink Singers who are the oldest LGBT choir, on the 15th of December 2018 at Cadogan Hall.
You can get involved in this scheme by visiting the website: OneDayOneChoir to find out more and learn how you can become a part of this moving project to bring peace and harmony to the world and to yourself.
