Music for a Summer’s Evening

Join us this Thursday 16 June for a celebratory and colourful concert in Big School with plenty of solos from our departing Upper Sixth musicians.
We will be dispensing with the traditional concert-hall set up, so do feel free to bring a deckchair or a rug as well as food and drinks and let our pupils serenade you.
