Piano Recital – January 2025

28th January 2025Heather Morgan

We welcomed family and friends of some of our talented players for an Evening of Piano Music.

We were lucky to have performers from Years 8-11 playing a variety of styles. There was plenty of Rock and Pop on display with Coldplay, Ed Sheeran and Bruno Mars amongst the artists featured, whilst, in contrast, the audience were also treated to music by Claude Debussy, Richard Rodgers and Joe Hisaishi.

Well played everyone, it was all thoroughly enjoyed!

Celebration of Woodwind Starters – January 2025

28th January 2025Heather Morgan

Our Woodwind Starters’ Celebration showcased all of our Larch students who started learning the Flute or Clarinet in September. 

32 musicians tonight astounded their families with their first performance on the clarinet and flute after 4 months of learning. The performance was the epitome of our unique and special all-through ethos.
Please do congratulate the musicians, they have worked so hard to get to this point!
Musical. Reading notation, in time. A huge sense of community. Confident. An inspiration.
Past Music Events

Primary Carol Services – December 2024

17th December 2024Heather Morgan

Our Larch Carol Service showcased:

  • Larch Wind and Brass (Year 4, 5 & 6), 
  • Larch String Orchestra (Year 4, 5 & 6)

  • Year 4, 5 & 6 Choir

  • Year 2 & 3 Choir

We must never take for granted the standard of musicianship at our Carol services. We all know that the number of students engaging is simply off the scale, and, once again, so evidently highly inclusive with the breadth of young people playing and singing. From choirs to strings, wind, brass and percussion; from Year 2 all the way to Year 6; from traditional carols to innovative, engaging and bespoke arrangements.

Past Music Events

Secondary Carol Services – December 2024

16th December 2024Heather Morgan

Our Secondary Carol Service showcased: 

  • The Simon Balle Concert Band, 
  • Senior Strings (including Y6)
  • Secondary Choir, 
  • Chamber Choir, 
  • Saxidentals,
  • Brass Ensemble. 

We must never take for granted the standard of musicianship at our Carol services. We all know that the number of students engaging is simply off the scale, and, once again, so evidently highly inclusive with the breadth of young people playing and singing. From choirs to strings, wind, brass and percussion; from Year 6 all the way to Year 13; from traditional carols to innovative, engaging and bespoke arrangements. It was fantastic to see so many students involved in so many ensembles and musical activities!
