SPRING CONCERT 2021

25 January 2021

We will be hosting this years Spring Concert online.  The concert will be broadcast on the school's arts YouTube channel on Tuesday 23rd March at 5pm.

The Music Department are issuing a call for performances and would like to invite all students to consider taking part, either as a soloist or as part of our virtual Choir and Orchestra recordings, which will be mixed together for the event. We would also like to invite students to submit their own compositions to include.

If you are interested in performing please submit a video recording of your performance, with a short introduction, to Mr Duguid.  We suggest using a file sharing site such as www.wetransfer.com as the files are likely to be too large to send directly.

For more information please contact Mr Duguid.
