Overview
Following its Wigmore Hall debut in 2017, the Principality OnlyBoys Aloud Academi makes a welcome return. Only Boys Aloud,coordinated by The Aloud Charity, uses choral singing to effectpositive change amongst teenage boys across Wales, promotingself-belief and self-confidence, and developing a sense of community.
The Academi comprises 32 of the older OBA boys who showparticular musical promise: this performance is the result ofa residential summer school where the boys are challenged,encouraged, and supported to do more and better.
