The theme of this year’s concert is ‘To Boldly Go’, featuring a specially commissioned suite of music called ‘Lookin’ Up – The Story of Flight’. The performance will showcase an incredible massed choir of 1200 Merton school children & local community groups, 250 young musicians from MMF’s Music Centre ensembles and professional musicians including the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, Olivia Murphy, Derek Paravicini, Joe Garland and Pete Churchill alongside some intergalactic special guests!

A truly unforgettable event – Merton music making at its finest!

To help make this opportunity available for every child, Merton Music Foundation has launched a crowdfunder and is inviting the community to support this project. Every child deserves an opportunity like this. Help us ensure that all young people, regardless of background or circumstances, can perform on one of the world’s most iconic stages, with someone they love in the audience!

We will be running a ticket bursary scheme, ensuring affordable tickets for all visitors and targeted free tickets for families that would otherwise struggle to attend. More information will be shared here soon.

Doors will open at 6:15pm for the concert which starts at 7pm with live music taking place in the hall as a curtain raiser between 6:30pm – 7pm.

The concert is expected to finish at 10pm.
