With the darkest part of winter now behind us, fourteen music scholars provided a welcome remedy to the cold weather this Monday evening.
Sophie (UC5) opened the concert with a sparkling marimba performance of Vivaldi’s ode to spring, La Primavera, and at the midway point of the concert Lily (L6S) provided a change of pace with her saxophone rendition of Sade’s Is it a Crime. On the piano, Emma (RC), Arthur (RS), Ava (U5C), and Alex (U5C) performed a series of lyrical pieces, each bringing a unique flair and personal expression to their work. Albert (8B) and Alex (L6W) both gave stellar performances of music by Mozart and Busoni.
We were treated to a wide breadth of vocal performances presented by Chris (RS), Luke (RP), Romy (L5S), Reuben (L6) and Zara (U5). Repertoire spanned from French chanson, to musical theatre, to jazz, which showcased the versatility of our singers – and the seemingly boundless expertise of their teacher Mr Jamieson-Smith.
Charlie (U5C) ended the programme on a high note with his performance of Franck’s Violin Sonata, a piece which brims with energy and joy.
Our sincere thanks to Anna Binney for her work organising the evening and to Matthew Price and Estelle Roux for their expert accompaniment.
