The Festival Fringe Concert is always an amazing concert in our school Chapel, featuring some of our finest musicians. However, this year we are presenting a semi-staged performance of Purcell’s opera, Dido and Aeneas, with a wonderfully talented cast of Roedean students in the solo roles.

The concert will also feature a great line up of soloists, performing with orchestra, and is a highlight of the School's musical year. This event sells out quite quickly, so please book your tickets here: https://roedean.ticketsolve.com/ticketbooth/ shows

This year's soloists include the following:

■ Karena (Yr13) – the first movement of the Double Bass Concerto in F-sharp minor, op. 3, by Serge Koussevitzky

■ Natalie (Yr8) – Zigeunerweisen, on the Violin, by Pablo Sarasate

■ Alma (Yr13) – singing Blute Nur, from St Matthew's Passion by JS Bach

■ Bernice (Yr10) – the second movement of Piano Concerto no 2, by Dmitri Shostakovich
