The Breath of Life is a new cantata by Classic FM Hall of Fame composer, Matthew Coleridge . Inspired by seeing the world through the eyes of children, with their sense of wonder and amazement, this music has everything - cinematic climaxes, moments of reflection and tunes that you will be humming for days. You will hear stars shining in the sky and waves on the sea, and even a powerful thunderstorm - with lots of percussion!

The event also featured music from the King Cross Band, then one of the leading brass bands in Britain, and The Halifax Choral Society
