This year鈥檚 Scholars鈥� Concert聽showed both the depth and breadth of our Scholars鈥� musical abilities, featuring聽brilliant performances聽of pieces spanning a wide variety of genres and styles.
The concert kicked off with聽two聽excellent performances from our Upper Sixth musicians, Thomas and Jemima, featuring聽Herbert Howells鈥� serenely beautiful King David, and Kurt Weill鈥檚 lilting, jazzy Speak Low.
Our GCSE Music scholars swept the audience away聽with聽a聽selection聽of Romantic and Impressionist music, featuring Georges Enesco鈥檚聽extraordinary,聽seldom-heard Cantabile et presto, performed brilliantly on the flute by Issy.
The audience was聽then聽transfixed by Claude Debussy鈥檚 mystifying Syrinx for聽unaccompanied聽flute, played beautifully by Ella;聽before being transported to the world of musical theatre with a performance of Stephen Sondheim鈥檚 Children will listen聽from his beloved musical聽Into the Woods.
The concert concluded with a performance from Lower Sixth Music scholar, Jem, who had the audience tapping their feet along with聽Teddy Swims鈥� Lose Control聽and Bill Withers鈥� soulful Ain鈥檛聽no Sunshine.
Congratulations to all our performers on yet another fantastic Scholars’ Concert.
