The first Music at Lunchtime of the year did not disappoint! A stunning line up of Sixth Formers kicked off the year with flawless vocal and instrumental performances. First up was our resident trumpeter Anna R-B, Year 12, with a fluent and joyful performance of Red White and Blues by Leonard Bernstein. Anna displayed her consistently impressive technique and performance skills, setting the tone for the rest of the concert. To follow, Juliet B, also Year 12, delivered a charismatic rendition of Almost There from The Princess and the Frog. Juliet’s jazzy voice created an energetic and fun atmosphere in the Arundel Center, perfect for a Friday afternoon.

Afterwards, Stevie B (Year 12) performed a more solemn performance of Breathe from Lin Manuel Miranda’s In the Heights. This moving piece was conveyed beautifully, showcasing Stevie’s excellent vocal technique and flair. Next up was Mei-Xing L-C, Year 13,, who chose to showcase her exceptional piano skills in Joe Hisaishi’s Il Porco Rosso. Mei-Xing delivered a polished and colourful performance of this charming piece. Bella K in Year 12 rounded up the concert with a powerful rendition of No One Else from Natasha Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812. As usual, Bella moved us all with an emotive and soulful performance, and gave us all goosebumps with her skillful use of dynamics.

Overall, this first Music at Lunchtime was the perfect way for our talented Sixth Form to show off their skills. Looking forward to many more brilliant concerts to come this year! Do listen HERE.
