As part of this concert, schools will be asked to join in with the performance of Kerry Andrew’s 'No Place Like', so you will need to get your students prepared! Teachers bringing classes to the concert are invited to attend a free CPD session on 24 May 2018, where BBC Singer Edward Price will be leading a creative session exploring how to teach your pupils the piece.
