Choral and Orchestral Concerts

unknown

We are pleased to announce that the tickets for our Choral and Orchestral concerts are now on sale.
On Sunday, 12 March at 1500, KES/KEHS Symphony Orchestra plays Mahler’s ‘Blumine’, and Bruch’s first violin concerto with Philip Edwards as the soloist. In the second half, the Choral Society will give Haydn’s ‘Nelson’ Mass.
On Monday, 13 March at 1930, a single great work, Mahler’s first symphony, played by KES/KEHS Symphony Orchestra. Chosen by Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla for her first concert with CBSO, the symphony is a huge and uplifting experience, one we hope to share with you.

Concert party

King Edward's School, Birmingham, concert party

“Concert Party” is the new outreach program that takes some of the best musicians from this school to primary schools with children not as exposed to music or privileged in their musical lives, in order for them to give a short concert. This concert will include one piece of chamber music (a string trio), one trumpet solo and at least one sting solo as well as going through some of the differences between the instruments, their limits and what they are used for. This is led by the ever energetic and enthusiastic Dr. Leigh.

For the most part of the first term we as a group have been practising on Friday afternoons however we have started now to go out to schools. Despite transport issues (fitting 5 of us with a cello into a taxi can be quite taxing, not to mention finishing late and missing the booked taxi) all of us feel like we are using the skills we have been taught to give back to the community. The feedback we have been given has been positive and hopefully we can inspire many more children to take up musical instruments.
