Music For Youth Festival – Regional Festival Series 2018

The school’s Woodwind and World Music Ensemble joined forces to perform in the Music for Youth Festival Series 2018.  Taking place between January and April every year, the Music for Youth Regional Festival series is the first stop on our annual season, and welcomes 40,000 young musicians to take part in the world’s largest youth music festival in 50 locations nationwide. Our students performed three items; Great Escape, Lincolnshire Poacher and a fusion piece which combined clarinet, recorded and tabla.

The adjudicators wrote the following about the performances : ‘Some stylish solos from clarinet, recorded, table, and all contributing to a very convincing performance. Good intonation in the unison clarinet moments, and a strong ending, bravo. … You are very accomplished as a world music ensemble – build on these strengths …’
