HPO Songbirds is a Children's Choir founded by Marcio da Silva in June 2021 with support from the Lottery Community Fund.

The choir rehearses on Thursdays from 4.25pm to 5.25pm and is open to children aged 7-13. Participation is free of charge.
​
During rehearsals children are coached in secure vocal technique and are taught the basic principles of reading music in a fun and relaxed environment. HPO Songbirds present regular informal showcase concerts when they perform the new songs they have learned. The children also have the opportunity to share piano pieces, or solo instrumental and vocal items with piano accompaniment if they wish. These performance opportunities help to build confidence and develop musicality.

HPO Songbirds also have the exciting challenge of joining larger more formal concerts with the talented young professional musicians of Hastings Philharmonic Orchestra and with the Hastings Philharmonic Choir. HPO Songbirds were thrilled to perform individual items and participate in whole choir pieces with the orchestra in the sold-out HPO Christmas Gala Concert in December 2022.

In February 2022 the children were excited to participate in their first opera performances - Puccini's La Bohème - and they joined Opera South East for performances of Bizet's Carmen at the White Rock Theatre in April 2023.

This project is a new initiative that combines the talents of local pupeteer Orlando Bishop with Prokofiev's engaging Peter and the Wolf, and also builds on the enthusiasm the children have developed for well-known children's arias and opera choruses.
