Priory pupils in tune with One Voice

Penwortham Priory Academy pupils were in good voice at their gospel choir workshop and sell-out concert.

 

Priory was visited by Tyndale Thomas MBE, one of the leading gospel musicians in the UK. Tyndale has worked as a professional musician nationwide but is based in the North West and has extensive experience at performing and conducting at major venues around the country, such as Westminster Abbey.

 

Tyndale worked with Priory pupils and pupils from feeder primary schools during the day then both groups joined together with the ‘One Voice Community Choir’ for a concert in the evening. 

 

Tyndale, who has also lead the One Voice Community Choir in Preston for a number of years, said: “It’s my seventh time working with Priory students and it’s inspirational. The students embrace it and the concert at night is uplifting.”

 

Ms Clementson who is Pastoral Manager at Priory and in the One Voice Choir, was happy as her work and passion combined.  “The One Voice Choir is like a big family and it’s superb that they are supporting the school and the primary school children. It’s great to see the passion from the children through music.”

 

Priory’s Head of Music, Mr Taylor added: “This is always a special day, it’s a lovely experience for everyone involved and it’s a great chance for everyone to sing together. When there are around 100 people on stage at night it is so powerful.”
