Music department visit to Symphony Hall

Mr Ward, Mr Ali, Mr Imran and Miss Vaughan took 45 year 7 boys to hear the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra conducted by Michael Seal.  The famous percussionist Alistair Malloy introduced music from Harry Potter, Mozart, Stravinsky and Hans Zimmer.  Highlights included Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony clapped by the members of the orchestra and  an arrangement of Angry Birds. The boys commented that the concert was “amazing”, “brilliant” and “fantastic”. We are all hoping we can go back next year.’
