Success for In Angelis! On Sunday, Year 9 vocal ensemble In Angelis competed in the LVS Ascot Music Festival, an open opportunity for musicians aged 18 and under in the area to compete and receive professional advice and critique from an external adjudicator. Our girls met adjudicator Simon Rushby, an ex school Director of Music who is an international ABRSM examiner, writer for Edexcel and wellknown adjudicator both in the UK and abroad. Mr Rushby complimented the girls on their ‘beautifully cultured sound’ and ‘sincere and expressive singing’. The girls were awarded a Gold medal and an ‘Outstanding’ grade, which is rarely awarded at music festivals. In addition, they have been invited back to the Prize Winner’s Concert on 1st March. They will perform to a packed theatre amongst the best U18 musicians in the area in this concert and are now eligible for an overall festival award. A massive CONGRATULATIONS to Arte Sershi, Cate Cowper, Maisie Russell, Martha Pearce, Deborah Oyewole and Maite Alvargonzalez. We are all so very proud of you! Best of luck competing in the final concert!
