On Christmas Day, three Westminster City School students (two current and one former) were part of the Inner Voices choir which performed 'Once in Royal David's City' as part of the King's Christmas Message. Well done and congratulations to these students who have worked extremely hard to receive this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Temi, who is in Year 12 at Westminster City School’s Sixth Form and a member of Inner Voices Youth Choir, shared his experience, saying:

“I have been singing with the choir for approximately 3 years now and has been fantastic. I've had the pleasure to be involved in many concerts and performances over the years, including Belgium which was in 2023 and Italy in 2024.

“To have such an amazing opportunity at the end of the King’s Christmas Message was nothing short of spectacular. Just knowing that my voice would be used for something so wonderful filled me with great pride and accountability. Until the day of recording the context of our singing was not made aware to us but the moment, I found out I understood that I had to do my very best no matter how nervous I may have been.”

The official Facebook account of The Royal Family, shared a post on Facebook saying:

“It was a joy to invite the Inner Voices Choir to perform ‘Once in Royal David’s City’ as part of The King’s Christmas Broadcast.

“Conducted by Edward Watkins, the talented London-based youth choir works with inner-city state schools to improve access to first-class choral education.”
