King Edward's Music

Here is our 37-strong Guitar Orchestra rehearsing Danza Venezuela by Vincent Lindsey-Clark for the Guitar Instrumental Evening which happened on Monday.

Well done to one of our Shell pupils, Yang, who played wonderfully at the recent Foundation Ceremony.

Please see below for the programme for this evening’s Guitar Instrumental Evening.

We were, again, treated to a variety of music of a high calibre at this Lunchtime Recital; with the music of Beethoven, Hummel, Paganini, Gary Ryan, and Franz Doppler, being played on the piano, trumpet, guitar, and flute. Well done to all those who performed.

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!
