Really looking forward to Orchestraoftheswan Elements concert next week. Our students are exploring and creating “air” in their 2nd workshop with Tim Whitehead, David Gordon and David Le Page.

Lovely to make a swift dash to Warwick to hear the Orchestraoftheswan junior come and play day. All part of our wonderful partnership and mission with Warwickshire Music and The Swan to open music to all across the town.

Wishing the three chamber ensembles from the Foundation all the best in the Pro Corda National finals @WoldinghamSch. So thrilled to have three groups through this year. Chamber music is so important in the development of our musicians. Warwick School King's High School Warwick Prep School

It’s a new week and this evening brings Stringfest Warwick School. A great way to celebrate this St Patrick’s Day and wonderful to see so many boys (and a few girls) involved in music making.

"Music is everywhere. It's in the air between us, waiting to be sung." Amazing experiences for pupils of all ages & stages of their musical journeys this week. Our partners Orchestraoftheswan are today working with all of our Year 7 pupils on Bizet's Torreador's Song. En Garde!

The honour of the final WSF concert this term goes to Canticum, our choral society tonight. They're more a chamber choir this time, following 'Calling All Dawns' in November with Steve Dobrogosz's Mass and 'Nonsense' by Richard Rodney Bennett.

It may be the holidays but the musicians Warwick School don’t let that stop them! Quick visit Royal Northern College of Music for the finals NCBF - National Concert Band Festival. Little Big Band & Big Band performing. Always great to hear other bands incl Royal Marines this year. Great to hear some new composers too.

Lovely afternoon at the Chase Meadow Community Centre with Cerys and Sing for Joy, raising money for Stroke charities. Another example of how we at “Warwick A Singing Town” are supporting the community. Lots of music, laughter and money raised too!

Unique opportunities for pupils thanks to our orchestra in residence Orchestraoftheswan as our next cohort of conducting students work with members of the orchestra and the wonderful Rebecca Miller on Elgar’s serenade for strings. Such a supportive and inspiring learning environment.

An exciting afternoon welcoming the orchestra from The Croft School to an open rehearsal of The Planets by Orchestraoftheswan for tonight’s sold out concert. Truly inspirational for these young musicians. DM me if you’re connected with a local school who might benefit from similar.

We may be in the last two weeks of term but the musical opportunities keep coming for our pupils Warwick School. A side by side with the band of the Scots Guards watched by pupils within the Junior and Senior Schools. So inspiring for all involved, both playing and watching.
