We had an excellent Autumn Concert Thursday night. The concert started with a complete performance of Mozart’s Bassoon Concerto with orchestra, featuring soloist Sam. To take on a project of this size at school is a major undertaking and Sam produced an outstanding performance, with superb support from the Orchestra conducted by Mr Wright.
Following a move into the Chapel, the audience were then treated to a wide range of ensemble playing, including pieces from the Brass Ensemble, Senior String Quintet and Clarinet Choir.
The Saxophone Ensemble played an ambitious contemporary piece by Andy Scott in multiple parts with a challenging improvisatory section.
The Chapel and Chamber Choirs were on fine form with music learnt ahead of our visit to Durham Cathedral. We also had three memorable solo performances from Nina (soprano), Andrew (trombone) and a very characterful rendition of ‘A more humane Mikado’ from Loic.
Overall this was a lovely event and has given us a very strong start to the academic year.
