BRIGHTON FESTIVAL YOUTH CHOIR perform at BRIGHTON FESTIVAL 2025 A selection of favourite and lesser known works by composers – from Vaughan Williams, Stanford and Elizabeth Poston to Mia Makaroff, Fleet Foxes and Jeff Lynne’s Mr Blue Sky. The bright-eyed songsters of the Brighton Festival Youth Choir invite you into a wonderful world of birds, butterflies and blue skies above a landscape of woods, roses and apple trees. Music Director Juliette Pochin Pianist Nick Andrews
Let There Be Peace is a poem by Lemn Sissay with music by Juliette Pochin. The BFYC were supposed to premiere it at the 2020 Brighton Festival with Lemn Sissay present in the audience but due to the lockdown, this performance has been postponed to 2021 and the choir recorded their parts at home for this virtual performance.
