Guildhall Visit

Last week we were delighted to welcome in to school the Catil Quintet (a wood wind quintet) from the Guildhall School of Music & Drama. They performed for all of our Key Stage 3 students in a series of three concerts.

Everyone loved the varied repertoire of film and classical music, and had loads of questions for the visiting musicians about life as a musician and different pathways in music.

The quintet also performed a new program of music to music scholars, GCSE and Year 12 musicians. Year 12 A-level students then performed to the audience and quintet, and were provided with feedback and advice for improvements.

The day concluded with the quintet playing alongside the school orchestra and leading the rehearsal. It was a great day of music making all round!
