Choirs from West Berkshire Primary schools combine for a two-day celebration of music and dance including African Jigsaw by Peter Rose and Anne Conlon, conducted by Peter Hunt.

African Jigsaw is a musical written for a High School choir in Lancashire in 1986 that reflects on the many faces of Africa. It does not attempt to provide answers, it simply places fragments of the puzzle before its audience; we are all part of the problems, and the solutions.
