In June 2026, the choir will turn to modern jazz with a performance of Zimbe! by Alexander L’Estrange. First premiered in 2008, when it rocked the singing world, Zimbe! combines energetic African traditional songs with contemporary syncopated jazz. Designed as music for the community, combining both child and adult voices, the performance will feature a massed choir comprising Barnt Green Choral and 60 children from two local school choirs.

Zimbe! Come Sing the Songs od Africa
June 19, 2026 at 6:30 pm
Routh Hall, Bromsgrove School, B61 7HP
For this summer we are planning a joint concert with the school choirs of Bromsgrove Prep School and Lickey End First School to deliver a performance of ‘Zimbe’ by Alexander L’Estrange. This work was specifically composed for massed joint adult and children choirs and is a choral arrangement of traditional African songs in a modern jazz style. It has been described as “touching, moving, funky, and groovy - and at all times incredibly uplifting both for performers and audiences alike”. The concert, which will last 45 minutes, will be performed at 6.30pm in Routh Hall, Bromsgrove School, on Friday 19 June 2026. Tickets, at £12.50, can be obtained on-line at the Bromsgrove School Box Office.
