Cornwall County Choir, a group of 110 young Cornish singers performed Coldplay’s hit song, Fix You, with the focus on sea pollution and climate change.
Cornwall County Choirs is part-funded by the Cornwall Music Education Hub.
The performance was a hybrid piece, consisting of live choral singing supported by video footage from around Cornwall. The video addresses issues of plastic sea pollution to young people, and was created by Falmouth University student, George Steedman-Jones.
Pupils of Kennall Vale and Perranrworthal primaries have provided signing to accompany the song, arranged by Paul Whittaker OBE and taught by Sarah Childs of Penryn College.
Singer’s costumes for the concert were made from recycled objects and beach junk, by parent and local artist, Jose McDonald including plastic bottles, shells, and netting supplied by Beach Guardian, a Community Interest Company based in Cornwall, and Heathcoats in Devon.
The choir has been working towards establishing its own climate goals by making rehearsals more eco-friendly, and by participating in various group beach cleans around the county.
An #IWillFixYou campaign logo was designed by member, Jenna Walsh.
