Rugby World Cup comes to Brighton……..come and join in the fun!

 

On Sunday 20 September there is a cultural festival to celebrate the RWC.  Following composition workshops at 5 schools, James Redwood has composed an uplifting work involving catchy songs, body percussion and chants based around super powers. This will be performed on the New Road stage, twice in the afternoon by young people from 15 different primary, secondary and special schools. They will be accompanied by the Brighton & Hove Youth Big Band. There will be lots of other family friendly attractions (musical and otherwise) around the city centre so come on down and join in the celebrations.
