King Edward's Music

We commenced this year’s This Is Our Voice partnerships project at Hillstone Primary School last Wednesday 22nd November with our first workshop for teachers. 7 schools are taking part this year, which has a focus on introducing children to Stravinsky’s The Rite Of Spring; the KES/KEHS Symphony Orchestra will be performing the work this year. Thank you to Dr Leigh and Mr Farr for conducting the workshop.

Last Monday 20th November, the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire invited our Big Band to open their Jazz Orchestra’s concert. The Big Band played some classic numbers, including Green Dolphin Street and When You’re Smiling; the latter, featuring pupil Eve on vocals. Thank you to Mr Hill and Mr Smith for working with the band in the lead-up to the event, thank you to the Conservatoire for having us, and thank you to Mr Ash for the photos!
