The two Head Choristers at Birmingham Cathedral are boys from King Edward’s School.
Ashley Smith and Oliver Reeve, both in the Rems, sing at services during term time and have the opportunity to perform in concerts at the Cathedral and at other venues in the Midlands and beyond.
As well as gaining performance experience, choristers receive training in music theory and recently several have gained Oxbridge music scholarships.
The company also gave it their all to make it the spectacular performance it was written to be, bringing the workhouse, Fagin’s den and the streets of Victorian London to life.
