Summer Concert at the Royal College of Music

Our music department has grown so much that we’ve officially outgrown the school hall—so this year, we took things to the next level! We were thrilled to host our summer concert at the prestigious Royal College of Music’s Amaryllis-Fleming Concert Hall.

Moving 120 students (plus instruments, music, robes, and packed lunches!) was no small feat, but Dr Slimings and Miss Finlay made it happen with military precision. Highlights included students playing a Steinway Concert Grand for the first time, and organ students performing on the symphonic organ as the audience arrived.

The concert theme, The Americas, featured music across a range of genres, and ended with a powerful performance of Dvořák’s New World Symphony, followed by Don’t Stop Believin’, featuring an epic guitar solo from Yasmin in Year 10.

We also celebrated our brilliant Year 11s and awarded the first-ever St Cecilia’s Award for Dedication to Music, to two pupils: Gracie O and Charmaine S.

A huge well done to all involved—your passion and dedication made this an unforgettable evening.
