The opening concert features an incredible 1,800 young singers accompanying the magnificent Royal Festival Hall organ. This is part of the Southbank Centre’s Pull Out All the Stops festival, which celebrates the culmination of the six-year project to restore the organ.
Lambeth Music Festival coordinator, Oliver Bayley, is planning a week to remember – especially for the young performers who have the chance to take to a stage that plays host to famous musicians from around the globe.
From singing concerts in the Royal Festival Hall to rock concerts in the Festival Village, under Queen Elizabeth Hall, there’s something for everyone.
