Music

The Junior Department Evening of Music is an eagerly anticipated event. It gives all the pupils in the Junior Department the opportunity to perform both as soloists and in ensembles in front of their parents in Chapel. The variety of music performed and instruments played was impressive and highly entertaining.  

All the pupils in Years four to six are members of the Junior Choir. They sang their choral piece with great enthusiasm and skill.

 All in all it was an excellent evening celebrating the musical talent of the school’s younger pupils.
