Last night St Peter's School held its annual Whole School Foundation Concert. Well done to all who took part in this spectacular event!
Mr Miles-Kingston, Director of Music at St Peter's School: "It was a joy to welcome musicians from 2-8 and 8-13 to 13-18 last night for the Whole Foundation Concert. There was a wide range of music, from the touching ‘This is the moment’ sung by the 2-8 choir to Mozart and Haydn played by small ensembles, guitars from 8-13, Glenn Miller from the 13-18 Swing Band and choral items from the Chapel Choir 8-13 and the 13-18 Barbershops. We finished with an energetic joint choir medley of two songs from ‘Mary Poppins’! We look forward to releasing this to parents after half-term."
Mrs Craven, Head of Music at St Peter's 8-13: "It was great to have so many involved from 8-13, with Chapel Choir performing the technically tricky ‘Kyrie’ from Andrew Carter’s Missa Brevis and then the stunning ‘I Remember’ by Sarah Quartel; they sang with real warmth of sound. Our Senior Guitar Ensemble had members from J2, J3, J4 and 5 – and played incredibly well – led perfectly by Chris Green. It was marvellous to hear a Wind Quintet made up of children in J4 and J5 play with some fabulous ensemble skills. More than anything, it was just wonderful to see how much enjoyment they take from making music."
Mrs Hayden, Head of Music at St Peter's 2-8: "It was a long time coming but it was so good to be back once again as a whole school and what better way to celebrate than with music. The choir from 2-8 started the evening off singing their hearts out. Their first song, The Moment by Craig McLeish was very fitting “United in song….. waiting so long….this is the moment we’ve been waiting for!”. The children from 2-8 really enjoyed listening to the performances from the older pupils, so much talent the younger children have really been inspired to follow in their footsteps. The highlight of the concert was the final piece when all three schools came together to sing a medley from Mary Poppins, we have all missed making music together and this was a fabulous and fitting end to a great concert."
