The Solo Music Competition ran for four nights – over two evenings on the week before half term and a further two evenings during the week after half term – with each specialising in a separate instrumental and vocal field, and culminated in the Winners’ Concert last Tuesday evening.

At each evening there was a feast of talent on show, which included pupils from Year 3 to the Upper Sixth playing alongside each other. Our four adjudicators – David Hollingum (Wind and Brass), Nic Robinson (Piano), Paula O’Sullivan (Voice) and Ros Hanson-Laurent (Strings) – who were all impressed with the standard of playing and singing, provided some very positive and constructive feedback to all those who took part.

The Winners’ Concert showcased the victors – beginner, intermediate and advanced – from all four evenings and was a real treat for the senses. All musical styles were represented and the standard of musicianship from all participants was very high indeed.
