Music

Our comprehensive program of cocurricular activities has continued with more than thirty-six rehearsals a week, providing opportunities for pupils to explore and develop their appreciation of music as well as preparing for our regular concert series. This half term alone there have been eight performance opportunities for our pupils. A highlight was most certainly our inaugural KS3 Band Night, organized and arranged by Miss Ciara McCarthy and Mr Michael Wright. The concert can be viewed here. In addition there have been recitals by our Remove and Lower Fifth, Lower Two Tea Time Recital, Upper Fifth and Sixth Form, and an Upper Two Tea time recital. The Spring Choral Concert on Monday 28th March featured O.C.s Avantika Bharadwaj performing Shostakovich Piano Concert No.2 in F Op.102 and Dominic Tunks performing Krommer’s Clarinet Concerto in Eb, Op.36 The programme also gave spotlights to the Chapel Choir, Sing!, Second Form Girls’ Choir Second Form Boys’ Choir, Choral Society and were joined by Schola Cantorum from Loyola Preparatory School. In total the School had more than 210 pupils performing alongside the professional orchestra.

We look forward to bringing more of these opportunities next term.
