Summer Solos Concert
This term’s Solos Concert was yet another musical extravaganza and, with most year groups represented, it was a terrific showcase of our many diverse talents and performances. Highlights on the classical side were Soma S (7ADH) and Sumeet S (9CEP), who both performed technically demanding pieces on the violin. On the popular music side, Amaroo B (7MLT) stole the show with a captivating performance of To Make You Feel My Love, a Bob Dylan favourite, complete with instrumental solo moments also played by Amaroo.

special. It was amazing to be given an opportunity to attend the King’s College choir’s rehearsal – it was an unforgettable day.”
