Very proud of our sixth form music scholar, Alexander. Tune-in to BBC4 at 7pm to hear him perform the premiere of ‘Crystal Projections’, written for him by our Composer in Residence Jago Thornton . BBC Young Musician Eton College

Great to hear this piece on BBC Young Musician written by our former conducting scholar Jago Thornton!

Alex was very cool and Jago Thornton ‘s piece - our Composer in Residence (and tech guru!) EtonMusic Eton College was amazing.

I've acquired a rather specific set of skills in editing virtual choir/ensemble/orchestra videos & audio. If you need any of this doing, then do ask... After the current 130-video project, nothing is too large or too small...

In my second life as an audio/video editor, I just made this!...

Several months later I'm still rewatching BBC young musician percussion final. Fang Zhang's my standout favourite (love Rain the blind monk!) but "Crystal Projections" by Jago Thornton I'll willingly listen to on a permanent loop. Listen & be transported😍 youtube.com/watch?v=AzlqeD…

Lovely words from Emily Royal about my piece written for BBC Young Musician last year! BBC Radio 3 #NewMusic #percussion #solo #vibraphone
