Winter Concert 2025

On Tuesday 9th December, 85 students lit up the stage in our Winter Concert, filling the school hall with outstanding music and festive cheer. Showcasing months of hard work, both ensembles and soloists delivered performances that truly warmed our winter hearts.

Expertly compered by Zara (Y9) and Tristan (Y10), the evening opened with Ladbroke Groove arriving “at the station” with a lively performance of Chattanooga Choo Choo. Music teachers reflected afterwards on how striking it is to see just how independent and accomplished our musicians have become — the standard is now so high that staff could simply sit back and enjoy!

A series of superb solo performances followed, including Emma (cello), Milad (trumpet), Kim (flute), Marcel (classical guitar), Daniel (piano), and vocalists Loza and Victor. With over 20 different instruments taught each week, the breadth of opportunity at All Saints continues to shape confident, expressive young performers. Their willingness to step onto a packed stage and deliver with poise reflects the strong foundations built across our Music, Oracy and Drama curriculum.

The ensembles delivered equally impressive moments, finishing with a massed performance of Last Christmas — joyfully ending Whamageddon for everyone present! Among the most inspiring highlights was the presence of so many Year 7 students already taking leading roles in our flagship groups. From Josh in the tenor line of Schola, to Juliette on cymbals and timpani in the Symphony Orchestra, to Paylan performing the opening clarinet solo in Romeo and Juliet — the future of music at All Saints is bright.

A huge well done to all involved!
