More than 700 performers from 23 schools and community organisations took to the stage for the biggest ever Evening Express Christmas Concert.
Thousands turned out to watch the youngsters at P&J Live as they got the audience in the festive spirit with Christmas favourites.
More than 2,000 tickets were sold across this year’s two shows, with £15,000 raised to support local schools through the the Evening Express’ Pounds for Primaries project.
Evening Express editor Craig Walker said the 2022 Evening Express Christmas Concert, which has been a feature of Aberdeen’s festive season for more than 50 years, was “the biggest ever”.
He added: “We had almost 700 performers over two shows and it was great to see the excitement, joy and talent from people across the north-east.”
Show director Laura Pike said the shows, which took place on Sunday December 11, were “magnificient” and that everyone involved from the children to the audiences were “just ready for a big celebration”.
She added: “It was fantastic to be a part of it and see the kids and I’m so proud of everyone involved. I’m looking forward already to next year, but I think by then we’ll need the huge arena at P&J Live.”
