About Capital Arts Children's Choir
The Capital Arts Children's Choir is one of the busiest and most successful children's choirs in the country. The choir is in much demand signing in major choral works at concert halls in London and throughout the UK with leading orchestras and choirs. Other performances vary from opera to rock music, backing tracks for films and jingles for commercials.
The choir's director, Kathleen Shanks, is in the forefront of pioneering work with children's choirs in this country. She is internationally recognised as a treb;e choir specialist and her work takes her to Europe, USA and Canada as guest conductor. In 2004 she has been invited to work at the Berlin Opera House and to conduct the New York Children's Chorus at the Lincoln Centre in Manhattan. Kathleen founded the Capital Arts Children's Choir in 1991 and the choir shot to fame in its first year by winning the BBC/Andrew Lloyd Webber competition to perform in 'Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat' at the London Palladium. the Capital Arts Children feature on the cast CD of 'Joseph' and the number one hit single from the show, 'Any Dream Will Do'. Capital Arts has toured extensvely and broadcast on radio and television in the UK, France, Germany, USA, Canada and Russia. The choir has held a regular contract since 1991 to perform in Raymond Gubbay's 'Glory of Christmas' season at the South Bank Centre, Barbican Centre and Royal Albert Hall. Recent concert recitals have included a performance at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, to support the Pavarotti Music Centre in Mostar.
The choir also has an impressive list of recordings to its credit. In 2004 the choir returns to Canada and the USA for a recital tour. The Capital Arts Children's Choir has performed before royalty and state leaders, in this country and abroad. Members of the choir have sung at a Royal Variety Perormance before Her Majesty the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh. Another special moment for the choir was when the children were presented to Diana, Princess of Wales, and to Princes William and Harry.
Current work includes the 21st birthday celebration concerts to be held in December 2004 at the Barbican Centre and Birmingham Syphony Hall for Howard Blake's 'Snowman' and a Christmas CD recording. Following the choir's successful performances in the highly acclaimed opera productions 'Cav and Pag' at the Roayl Albert Hall in the Autumn of 2002, the choir has been invited to return to the Roayl Albert Hall in February 2004 to perform in Puccini's 'La Boeme', for promoter Raymond Gubbay.
The Capital Arts Children are delighted to be returning to the West End in this production of 'Joseph' for Bill Kenwright.
