8-13 Carnival Concert

On Monday night, the 8-13 Music Department gave a wonderful ‘Carnival’ concert, which was just exceptional.

The concert was inspired by the work of French Composer, Camille Saint-Saens. 'Carnival of the Animals' is a humorous musical suite of fourteen movements, including 'The Swan'. It is roughly 25 minutes in duration and was written for private performance by two pianos and chamber ensemble.

The concert opened with a performance of 'Introduction & The Royal Pride' from our Sinfonia Orchestra, followed by a performance of 'Snakes' & 'Tiger Prowl, Tiger Roar' from the String Quartet, which was made up of pupils from J4 and J5.

Arina gave a flawless performance of 'The Swan' on the 'Cello, followed by a vocal solo from Joy of 'The Crocodile' and a unique performance of 'The Cuckoo' from the Sinfonia Clarinettists.

The Concert ended with a performance of the 'Can-Can' from Sinfonia and Sinfonietta, which was widely enjoyed by the audience as they enthusiastically clapped along.

To have so many pupils performing at such a high standard was incredible - what a treat to listen to!

Thank you to Mrs Craven and all of the wonderful teachers - you are all amazing.

Up next is 'A Night at the Oscars', date to be confirmed..!
