King’s Prep Choir and Choristers shared a number for Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat by Andrew Lloyd Webber and other schools offered songs by Mike Batt and Glyn Lehmann. Highlights of the evening included a medley of local Kent folk songs and the Karl Jenkins’ Benedictus, which featured an exquisite cello solo from Music Scholar Isla M (L5) alongside serene string playing; followed by acoustic shockwaves courtesy of Mr Holmes in the percussion department and Mr Lloyd in the organ loft.
