Photos from GUYO’s recent performance at Trinity Buoy Wharf

16 April 2012

GU’s professional and youth orchestras united with the Water City Festival Orchestra and East London choirs to perform a very special show, What The River Sings as part of the BBC’s Music Nation weekend. The show expressed the musical character of London’s East End in it’s diverse repertoire and selection of performers, and celebrated the long history of this fascinating part of London – gateway to Britain – at the atmospheric location where the River Lea joins the Thames.
