STRING COMPETITION LESLEY LARKUM, HEAD OF STRINGS The College’s twelfth String Competition took place in the Old Library in early December, with 39 string players, ranging in age from Year 5 to Year 13, taking part in seven classes, from beginner to advanced. The adjudica- tor, violinist David Juritz, gave positive and helpful feedback to each and every player throughout the course of the day. The whole event was both instructive and a testament to the high level of music-making at Dulwich College. Heartfelt thanks to Cl í odna Shanahan, Head of Keyboard, who accompanied all the boys for the competition from beginner to advanced, with expert skill and musicianship.
