The world’s most magnificent wedding choir, thank you so much to our wonderful chamber choir! Parry, Hadley & Mozart accompanied by organ, percussion & brass - a truly overwhelming musical backdrop to a special day!
Our 7th and final show together as Director and Musical Director and our final time writing the production thank you cards - we will miss this. Thank you Mr Bulmer, for transforming arts education and good luck! Final night, let’s go!
More good news. Hannah Walker has been offered a place at the Royal Academy of Music for next year - watch this space for an amazing career!

A little earlier than usual, but we had to get a photo with our wonderful U6th musicians! Thank you for everything you have given, the music you have made and memories to last a lifetime. Prom Concert 2020 will go ahead (at some point). Watch this space!
63 happy (and a little tired)young musicians safely delivered home after a fantastic week in Yorkshire - fabulous music, company and memories! Truly energised for start of the new school year now!
Alex Lockyer performs his arrangement of 'If I Can't Love Her' from Beauty and the Beast, accompanying himself on piano and cello - just a little talented!? Full song in Friday's concert!

This is the remarkable young Orchestra for Les Miserables. They had three rehearsals and are now playing west end parts flawlessly. musically and like professionals. Proud doesn’t cover it ...
Today we had a glimpse of Normal Music Land. With some students in school for the first time in nearly 3 months, we couldn't resist a quick, socially distanced, performance without the need for video editing and, wow, it felt good!

An utterly amazing final concert in Harrogate tonight to a huge audience - what a wonderful way to end off tour. After the last couple of years I think it is fair to say we are well and truly back!
A bitter-sweet moment as we begin the series of final Musical events for our U6th. This remarkable bunch have endured the most testing year with resilience and refused to let the music stop! “Ah, music," he said, wiping his eyes. "A magic beyond all we do here!” (Dumbledore)
Blown away to find this on my desk this morning. A wonderful canvas painted for hanging in music land by multitalented year 11 music scholar, Sophia!

More Christmas Cheer: Superstar drummer Seb Bloom (heard here with the school Big Band) has received a place on the acclaimed jazz course at Trinity Laban Conservatoire. Congratulations Seb and save us seats for your first gig at Ronnies!!

Drone footage of our final tour concert tonight! Our 76th of this year and arguably the very best - lost for words and proud of our young musicians beyond belief!
A little sneak preview of something very special. Hannah & Catriona rehearsed this last year and we never found the time to perform in concert, until now - another silver lining to lockdown.

Happy New Year! Our musicians have simply refused to give up this year and shown that, whatever happens, music will continue to be such an important part of our community. Can’t wait to get cracking with a packed 2021 schedule of concerts, shows, services and tours!
