Spring Concerts a tremendous success

Our Spring Concerts last week were a tremendous success. To quote a few audience members: “fabulous performance”, “smiley children enjoying performing” and “wonderful celebration of music, encompassing everybody of all ages and all abilities”.

I thoroughly enjoyed preparing the children for these concerts and their development and progress is impressive to say the least. The peripatetic music staff were investing all their energy and enthusiasm into their respective groups and it really paid off in the performances. The children did extraordinarily well in showcasing such a diverse repertoire from Coldplay to Cesar Franck, Lloyd-Webber to Handel. Year 5 Choir performed a celebration of Handel’s most famous choral works in a piece by Alexander L’Estrange delighting the audience with their singing (from memory) for eight and half minutes!

Risk in performance was relished by some children who improvised live on stage thus showcasing their creativity in front of a packed out Hazlegrove Theatre. What a fantastic experience for all involved and well done all the children who performed to such a high level!
