King Edward's Music

Here are some photos from our Lunchtime Recital last Thursday. Well done to all those who performed!

On Friday, our Symphony Orchestra’s woodwind section were rehearsing for this year’s orchestral work The Rite Of Spring by Igor Stravinsky.

For Friday afternoon activities on the 29th September, the Shells were treated to demonstrations from our instrumental teachers of their instruments. These included the French horn, bassoon, clarinet, flute, oboe, and orchestral percussion. The photo below shows Mrs Butler and a few volunteers using a hose pipe and a funnel to imitate the sound of a French horn!

Well done to the performers of this year’s Miss Margaret Davis Recital, who put on superb performances of Schubert, Beethoven, and Saint-Saëns. Our next Lunchtime Recital will be on Thursday 12 October.

Thank you to Mr Ash for the photography.

Well done to all our Shells and Thirds who performed in the Ruddock Hall; their first of what will be many more future concerts! A variety of instruments were played including the violin, bassoon, and the harp.

The programme for today’s recital at 13:10 in the Ruddock Hall. All are welcome, and no tickets required!

We’re looking forward to our first ever KES/KEHS Shells’ and Thirds’ Recital this evening at 18:00 in the Ruddock Hall!

This first full week back saw some of our ensembles having their first rehearsals after the summer break, including our KES/KEHS Symphony Orchestra rehearsing The Rite Of Spring, and Choral Society rehearsing John Rutter’s Gloria.

Jazz piano teacher Mr Thompson gave a surprise demonstration to a Shell class on Monday morning, playing the accordion!
