Junior Foundation Schools Concert 2024
n We were delighted to host the third ever Junior Foundation Schools Concert in the summer term and had an absolutely fantastic day. We were joined by the orchestras from James Allen’s Girls’ School and Alleyn’s who combined forces with our own Junior School Orchestra to create an orchestra of over 100 young musicians! During the day, they rehearsed together as a full orchestra as well as having sectional rehearsals (woodwind, brass, percussion etc.) to practise two pieces that they had never played before: Themes from Scheherazade and The Pink Panther . It was quite remarkable to watch the progress over the course of the day and to see the musical links and bonds that were made between the schools. The day ended with a concert, which packed out the Great Hall and gave each school the opportunity to play their own pieces before hearing the two joint orchestra pieces. There was a palpable buzz in the room as the children performed to their families and friends. It was a very special day which brought much joy to parents and children alike and I would like to congratulate everyone involved for creating such amazing music together.
