| Summary |
In previous series of the multi-award winning program The Choir, choirmaster Gareth Malone has proved that singing can take a group of kids who never sang before all the way to the Choir Olympics. He has proved that boys can sing, take pride in it, and perform at the Royal Albert Hall in London. But can singing lift the spirits of an entire community?For the third series of The Choir, Gareth Malone goes to a town called South Oxhey in Hertfordshire in the UK. South Oxhey has no tradition of singing, and little cultural activity - there is not even a cinema in the area. But Gareth makes it his mission to make South Oxhey a centre of true choral excellence.This time, Gareth has a new set of challenges. Where previous series have centred on teenagers, now he has to convince adults with longer-held and deeper prejudices about choirs that they should be singing alongside him. And he has to find a way to transmit the choir bug to primary school children whose main experience of singing is X Factor.Gareth takes his choirs through an extraordinary set of challenges and a fascinating set of local characters emerges to become deeply engaged in his choral project. His final challenge is to put on a major performance in South Oxhey itself, and invite the whole town to the party. Can he transform South Oxhey into a place that takes singing to its heart?PRODUCTION DETAILS:The choir: Unsung town is a Twenty Twenty production |
