Busk Around the Cross

Monday 26 April 4– 5.30

The New Foundling Choir will busk their way through the hidden corners of King’s Cross, armed with the songs of forgotten composers, a handful of props and the promise to “teach” what they know to any audience prepared to listen.

Founded by the Foundling Museum, Camden Music and the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, the 35 strong children’s troupe will cover everything from Handel to Music Hall classics, be prepared to listen & learn!
