Following a project with the choirs and local schools, this is the first ever performance of Kerry Andrew's Unlocked.
This piece was written with input from the children reflecting on their experiences during the Covid-19 pandemic.
It was performed on Sunday March 20th at King's Road UR Church, Westcliff-on-sea in front of a large audience, including the composer and Southend City's Mayor.
The project was supported by Arts Council England.
