Soloist Auditions for The Snowman Tour
We are delighted to once again offer children aged 7-17 (up to year 8 for Derby and Buxton) the chance to sing the evocative Walking in the Air solo at six tour dates of The Snowman Tour.
This is a wonderful and unique opportunity for young musicians to sing alongside our professional orchestra and in front of hundreds of people.
