THE CITY'S first ever Family Proms concert will be held next month.

The event is the grand finale in a music project that has seen more than 500 people take part.

The "spectacular" event follows six months of free music-making workshops across the city - where musicians and singers of all ages and abilities have come together at one of the city's most prestigious venues - the Turner Sims Family Proms will include the chance for you to hear bass instruments as you've never heard them before with performances from quintet In At The Deep End.

They will be joined by performers from Southampton’s Family Orchestra, Family Singing and Family Rock Jam groups, alongside choir leader and voice coach Fiona Funnell, and rock band Groove Merchant.   

Manager Matt Brombley of Southampton Music Hub - who has organised the event - said:  “The past six-months of free Family Music workshops have been a huge success! It’s been incredible to hear stories of how we have inspired singers and musicians of all ages and  abilities. We’re delighted to host a spectacular celebration of the achievements of Southampton’s family  musicians, with the first Family Proms, and we hope that even more families from across the city will join us to  see, and hear, the life-changing power of music!” 

The concert takes place on July 1 from 12-1pm
