Music

The Choral Concert was the highlight of the term supported by the exuberant sounds from Redbridge Brass; the choirs amassed to sing Rutter’s Gloria, Parry’s ‘I Was Glad’, before finishing with a thousand singing Jerusalem. Ben Copsey presented an energetic, lively and poignant (especially in the slow movement) rendition of Derek Beorgeois ‘Concerto for Bass Trombone and Brass Band’ and was awarded the Concerto Shield by last year’s soloist, Dominic Tunks. We were glad to be able to share this experience with choristers from Loyola, Woodford Green Prep School and St Aubyn’s. In total, some 280 pupils performed on the evening. We have had three wonderfully received recitals in our Live@6 programme from the Fourth Form, Removes and Years 10 and 12. They can be found on our YouTube channel.

On Friday 17th March we hosted the Rotary Youth Makes Music concert in which our senior big band and string orchestra Musici represented the school with great energy.`
