The BBC is running a project called BBC Ten Pieces designed to inspire creativity and a love of music in school children.
The BBC provides a recording of ten wonderful pieces of music (visual and audio) which is screened free of charge for
school children. BBC Ten Pieces Champions then build on this experience with local events.

​
JUBILATE is a BBC Ten Pieces Champion.  This year in October, we were welcomed by the St John Fisher Caatholic Primary School
in Littlemore, where we filled the school hall with Beethoven 9 and Zadok the Priest, while the children showed us the true art of performance,
​with no recourse to printed music, all eyes on the conductor, and some beautiful voices.

JUBILATE became a BBC Ten Pieces Champion in 2015 under the leadership of our previous director, Benjamin Nicholas. In October 2015 the choir gave two short concerts of its own Ten Pieces in St. Nicholas Church in Islip and Pegasus School in Blackbird Leys. Children from local schools participated in two of the pieces. Some of the children also joined us for that year's Christmas concert in Keble College Chapel in which we sang pieces by composers from the Renaissance to the present day. The children took part in My Guardian Angel  by Judith Weir and enjoyed meeting the composer afterwards. Here she is signing their programmes after the concert.
In October 2016 we repeated the previous autumn's successful project (inspired by the BBC Ten Pieces initiative), working with the Blackbird Academy Trust primary schools, introducing the students to our wonderful repertoire and inviting them to join in with some of the pieces in our October concert.
