About

Bristol Beacon is handing over its stages to the city’s young people this summer, as more than 500 performers take part in a brand-new, youth-led music festival spanning orchestral premieres, immersive choral experiences and venue-wide takeovers.

Highlights

• Live and Loud: Symphonic Sessions (7pm, Saturday 4 July), a 100-strong youth ensemble premiering brand-new orchestral arrangements of original music by emerging Bristol artists in a powerful, genre-crossing performance.
• Choral Soundscapes: An Immersive Experience (5 July, 6:30pm) will see more than 200 singers from Bristol Youth Choir and alumni transform Beacon Hall into a fully immersive environment, inspired by Bristol itself
• Massive Come and Play with National Children’s Orchestras (5 July, 9am) invites over 200 young musicians aged 7-11 to take part in a large-scale workshop, ending in a free public performance in  Beacon Hall.

Across the weekend, the festival will fill Bristol Beacon with activity, including interactive workshops, family-friendly craft sessions and performances on the Soundbites Stage, spotlighting school bands, inclusive youth music groups and emerging local artists.

An evening afterparty featuring Bristol Youth Studios and special guest Lady Nade will round off the celebrations.
