LIVE LOUNGE The Music Department was so proud of the performances shared in the Live Lounge to parents at the end of April. Every year group was represented from Year 7 all the way to our excellent accompanist in Year 13, Emily M, who we bid a fond farewell to this year. We also said goodbye to our Year 11 musicians by listening to examples of compositions and hearing appropriate renditions of ‘Almost There’, and ‘Nobody Does it Better’. A memorable evening rounded off with a knockout performance by our Year 12 band accompanying Ishka P in Year 9 singing ‘Valerie’. “I really enjoyed the live lounge. It was so fun performing and it was such a nice environment. My parents enjoyed it a lot too they always get blown away whenever they come!” - Ishka P
ITALY MUSIC TRIP Our recent music trip to Lodi, Italy, was a fantastic experience for our students. They joined peers from across Europe in the European Youth Orchestra event, showcasing their musical talents and building international connections. “The first trip where I’ve felt truly immersed in the culture of the town, honestly one of the best trips of my life. I met so many lovely people and really enjoyed the rehearsals and the concert!” - Yasmin Year 12 “I loved being able to meet so many other young musicians. I also enjoyed the scavenger hunt that Ms Lewis organised. Overall I loved the whole trip, it was so much fun and I would love to do it again.” - Emily Year 10 “It was an amazing opportunity to meet so many young
musicians, and not only make music with them but experience the uniquely European phenomenon of doing a mass Macarena together. Top three sights: the beautiful churches (which we had to find some ‘creative’ means to get into), Verdi’s piano and a river surrounded by.. Tree fluff?” - Coro Year 12 “It has been so lovely meeting young musicians just like us from across Europe. Even if we didn’t speak each other’s languages, we all shared a love of music, which is inspiring!” - Lindsey Year 13
