City searches ‘for new Aled Jones’ to sing

It’s one of the best known pieces of Christmas music – and the search is now on for the next Aled Jones to sing the iconic Walking in the Air.

Preparations are underway for the family Christmas Concert performed by The City of Hull Youth Symphony Orchestra on December 12. During the concert The Snowman film will be projected onto a screen – but the orchestra is missing a boy treble singer to perform the song. Auditions take place on November 8, from 4pm to 6pm at the Albemarle Music Centre, on Ferensway.

Head of Hull Music Service Chris Maynard said the orchestra had performed The Snowman every four years since 1992, usually with a narrator, but this time thought that it would be different and exciting to provide the musical soundtrack.

Boys, aged around 10 to 13, who wish to audition, should contact Mr Maynard on 01482 318800.
