The annual second term concert in the Senior School this year was a charity concert, where the proceeds in the region of £600.00 went towards the school’s outreach programme in India. The chamber choir from the Prep school – Chanteurs –were also invited to participate in this event. The concert opened with the Senior Orchestra playing Handel, Dvorak and Burwell. The audience were then treated to wide variety of items ranging from a drum solo, oboe and violin concerto and a charming interpretation of the contemporary song ‘Travellin’ Soldier.

Chanteurs entertained with the traditional Tallis canon and Rutter’s Gaelic Blessing whilst the Senior Chamber Choir closed the first half with a contemporary Latin setting and music by Britten. The second half opened with a traditional Ghanaian folk song and ‘There must be another way’ sung poignantly by Chanteurs. Audience also heard the Convent’s newly formed brass quintet. The evening closed with two thought-provoking items by the Chamber Choir.
