The final performance on 19 April 2010 was held on The Bridgewater Hall, and was accompanied by Manchester Camerata musicians. 

All the songs devised during the project are being published in a Songbook, providing a project legacy and vital learning tools for music lessons on schools.

Poet Terry Caffrey, composer Kate Pearson, and musicians from Manchester Camerata, visited each school for three workshops over the year, where they devised lyrics, and composed the music to set them to, before performing their new songs at the Bridgewater Hall.

You can see More Videos showing how the project developed over the year, and we also have Examples of the Resources produced to help teachers with the learning projects.

We'd like to thank all those who played a part in making this such a successful project.
