Guangzhou Panyu Xinghai Children’s Choir

Following a sold-out and enthusiastically received debut at St Martin-in-the-Fields in 2025, the China–UK Youth Cultural Exchange Programme returns to London for a special one-off lunchtime concert featuring the award-winning Guangzhou Panyu Xinghai Children’s Choir from Guangzhou, China.

Part of a major international cultural exchange bringing together more than 200 young musicians and performers from China, Vietnam and the UK, this vibrant programme showcases the very best of contemporary choral music alongside colourful folk traditions from across China.

From Eric Whitacre’s uplifting Sing Gently to folk-inspired songs celebrating festivals, landscapes and ethnic cultures, the concert culminates in powerful excerpts from Xian Xinghai’s iconic Yellow River Cantata—one of the landmark works of twentieth-century Chinese music.

Renowned for its artistic excellence and international success, the Guangzhou Panyu Xinghai Children’s Choir offers London audiences a rare opportunity to experience one of China’s leading youth choirs in the magnificent setting of St Martin-in-the-Fields.

A unique musical journey celebrating friendship, cultural exchange and the universal power of young voices.
