MORE than 1,200 children from primary, junior and special schools joined together in song at the annual Brighton and Hove Schools’ Concert.

Accompanied by the Brighton and Hove Youth Big Band, the youngsters performed a medley of tunes including Christmas classics at the Brighton Centre on Monday.

They also performed original songs composed by students from the special schools featured in the concert. A collection was taken at the event for Encore, the charity that supports young musicians in the city.
