7 July 2017<\/h3>\n

The Summer Concert at a packed Amey Theatre, as always, featured a mix of music old and new from instrumental ensembles, choirs and soloists who all gave fantastic performances to create a truly memorable evening of superb music.<\/p>\n

Orchestra opened proceedings with The Blue Danube<\/em>, followed by Junior Choir singing Heatwave<\/em>, by Kevin Stannard. Y3 and Y4 sang three songs from Musical Director Debbie Rose’s Turn Again Whittington<\/em> with some great actions, and Chamber Choir sang the dreamy Summertime<\/em> by Gershwin. Harrison’s composition from Music Tech Club – Dark Suns<\/em> made way for Simon Currie’s APS Funk<\/em> from Jazz Band. Y5 brought the first half to a close with Mr Mistoffelees<\/em> from Cats<\/em> and Debbie’s own song about Oxford patron saint St Frideswide.<\/p>\n

Our Y8 leavers also featured: Alasdair on trombone, Freddie on clarinet played a Michael Nyman piece from The Piano<\/em> and Henry a Debussy piano prelude. Also a quartet of Henry, Robin, Hugo and Freddie performed Debbie’s setting of For the Beauty of the Earth<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The second half started with Y8 striding through the audience with percussion to play a rhythm-perfect samba, followed by Guitar Group’s La Bamba<\/em>. Y7 & Y8 sang Africa<\/em> by Toto, complete with stunning hand percussion rain-storm at the start. Folk Club and Senior Choir followed with two songs each, with ELO’s Mr Blue Sky <\/em>continuing the summer weather theme! Orchestra, Staff and older boys came together to perform a Medley for Crispin – James Bond and Star Wars of course, followed by F1 theme The Chain<\/em> with ‘The Stig’ and Tottenham Hotspur song. Finally everyone came together to sing Brian Setzer’s Stray Cat Strut<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Thank you to Director of Music Debbie Rose, Lenka, visiting music teachers, accompanist Bethan, staff and all involved who made the concert such a success.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
