On Saturday, April 27 after seven months of culmination, dedication and passion, the ‘Mass in Blue’ project brought together talented young voices from various schools. Held within the majestic Worcester Cathedral, this concert was a performance and a celebration of music’s power to unite, inspire, and transform.

Guided by the skilled hands of professional musicians, including the esteemed composer, Will Todd and conductor, Neil Ferris, formerly of the BBC Symphony Chorus, the choir embarked on a journey through the intricate melodies and harmonies of ‘Mass in Blue.’
For the pupils of MSJ, this was more than just a musical endeavour—it was an opportunity to immerse themselves in the world of professional music-making, to learn, grow, and expand their horizons. The complexity and excitement of the piece challenged them, pushing them to new heights of artistic expression.
As the final notes echoed into the rafters and applause filled the air, there was a sense of profound fulfilment and a shared understanding that, in music, we find beauty, meaning, purpose, and connection.
