Presenters Clive Myrie and Georgia Mann help the BBC Singers celebrate their one hundredth birthday with a spectacular choral party at London’s Barbican Hall. \n\nFormed in October 1924, and known then as the BBC Wireless Chorus, they were the world’s first full-time radio choir. Since then, the BBC Singers have become trailblazers in choral music. They regularly champion new music and can seamlessly move from traditional choral repertoire to the most experimental of sounds. \n\nThe BBC Singers' birthday bash features something for everyone - music from Bach to Bernstein and Eric Whitacre to Hans Zimmer. Joining this much-loved and pioneering group of singers are their closest musical friends, the BBC Symphony Orchestra and some very special guests. Organist Anna Lapwood brings her arrangement of a Hans Zimmer soundtrack, there’s a whistlestop tour of musicals created for them by arranger-extraordinaire Iain Farrington, and there’s a stunning performance by South African cellist and composer Abel Selaocoe.\n\nBe on the guest list for this very special centenary celebration.
