The Music Department was very pleased to hold an end of term Concert on Tuesday, 6th July.
Due to the rainy weather, this was moved from an outside venue at Lower School into the Main Hall where we welcomed an audience of Year 7 students.
This was our first live concert since February 2020 and our bands were so pleased to finally get back on stage! The bands were all year group based and have been rehearsing both online and at live rehearsals since the Autumn term. They all performed so well and really showed what hard work, commitment and love of music can do.
Thanks to every student who rehearsed and performed and to the tutors who have supported them.
Classical Deconstructed
A free, pioneering, and inclusive Trinity Laban play day. Classical music transformed with fun beats, samples, and improvisation.
Monday 2 August | 09:30 – 16:00
Greenwich Campus, Trinity Laban Conservatoire
Curious about classical music? Teenagers from all musical backgrounds and genres are invited to Trinity Laban’s Greenwich Campus to deconstruct famous classical themes this summer. You’ll have the opportunity to mix loops, samples, beats and other influences to create cool classical. This is your chance to subvert the age old genre of classical and bring it into the modern day.
On the day, you will be working with an expert team from Trinity Laban, each tutor is there to help you use the tools of your choice to change up the classics and find your sound
Emmanuel Vass: Trinity Laban Lecturer, ClassicFM “Young Classical Star” and #1-selling pianist.
Rebekah Reid: Violinist and loop pedals/ microphones/ effects specialist.
Diljeet Bhachu: Improvising and experimental flautist, ambient sounds, electronics and spoken word musician.
The day will end in a big group performance, there will also be Q&As with the team to discuss life as a diverse-background musician
We are excited to announce that The Dave Storey Trio will be performing for some of our students (years 7 and 8 and a few ‘invited’) in school on Friday 25th June.
Some of you may recognise him, as Dave is one of the Drum tutors that comes in weekly. This time he will be coming in to perform his jazz music to us….what a treat!
