More than 200 guests attended Notre Dame Catholic College to experience a unique collaboration between In-harmony Orchestra, Notre Dame Catholic College and Resonate this week.

Choirs, bands and orchestras thrilled guests from across Liverpool in what Notre Dame Catholic College director of arts John McHugh called “a celebration of youth music in the area.”

He said:

“The evening was a very fitting tribute to what’s been a very special year for us in the city. We’ve seen amongst parents and pupils alike, the social and cultural benefits of providing access to high quality music education and the feedback has been that we really have captured the imagination of so many people in so many schools in the city.

“I believe it’s really important to develop an aptitude for music early in young people in order to create a lifelong learning experience in music. A high calibre music education at a young age can have a profound effect in boosting a young person’s self development, confidence and awareness.”
