King Edward's Music

Many congratulations to the wonderful performers for their fabulous success at yesterday’s concert! Here is a lovely review written by Ashar:

As the bell rang at the end of Period 5, crowds of pupils, Shells and Sixth Formers, KES and KEHS, made their way across the road to the Elgar Concert Hall of the University of Birmingham. The atmosphere was full of eager anticipation for this annual recital featuring the very best musicians of our two schools. 

The seats quickly began to fill, in preparation for what would be a wonderful outing. The first of the performances was a trio, immediately drawing listeners to their insightful understanding of the piece. Following this was a sextet performing a piece by Holst, and as expected for such talented musicians, every note was full of passion, and musical power.

And then came, what was undeniably the showstopper, Tchaikovsky’s ‘Souvenir de Florence’. Every one of the performers put their hearts into their playing, and we, as the audience felt that brilliance. As the final note reverberated through the hall, we were in awe. Walking back through the rain to school, those performances stayed with us; it truly was an event to remember.
