b'MUSIC 2024-25In past years weve usually omitted to mention the Summer Concert as The Bridge is published before we hold our Summer Concert of the same year. This year, we wanted to mention one of the best concerts of the previous academic year to ensure its memory is preserved in the pages of our magazine.Summer Concert4th July 202470 students performed to a packed Big School to celebrate the musical achievements of the year. Very early into the programme we were concerned that the concert might not end until midnight, but with shorter items in the second part our worries soon passed.The concert commenced with the impressive Senior Guitar Ensemble which filled the stage and was led by Mr Knight. The other ensembles performing were Lower School Woodwind Ensemble, Upper School Woodwind Ensemble, Lower School Choir, KEVI HGS Jazz Ensemble, String Ensemble, Guitar Sextet and KEVI HGS Orchestra. We enjoyed solo performances from Daniel Earle, Abel Shaine, Rajan Dhuphar, Ziona Paulson, Joshua Holdsworth, Alvin Chan, Maximus Rueff, Ritchie Rogers, Teghbir Singh, Enzo Lee, Hrithik Bansal, Jaswanth Panathala Venkata, Nicholas da Silva Xavier Woods, Daniel Alloh Mikael Mahmood, Arjun Dev Bagha, Sebastian Fernando and Amitoj Saggu.This was the final concert for Daniel Earle and Max Rueff, both of whom have regularly contributed to the musical life of the school since joining us. Max was off to the University of Bangor in September and Daniel headed to Stourbridge for A-levels. On behalf of the department, we wish them well in the next stage of their education.55'
