We are so lucky to sing in such stunning venues at Christmas: Thank you for having us today at Bell House in Dulwich... Bell House and last Monday at Diocese HQ... Southwark Cathedral

It’s going to be a fantastic occasion. Do join us! #spirituals #singing #londonchoirs #londonmusic

Come and SING!🎶🎶🎶🎶 It’s free! It’s fun! Come and join us all! We’re very pleased with the uptake for our Saturday afternoon of Spirituals in the #VWA @JAGSschool JAGS Music led by our dynamic, friendly conductor Peter Gritton

Come and sing with JagsChoralSociety at 2pm in the VWA to explore spirituals. Come and help Peter Gritton unravel their beauty, unearth their secrets and unleash their power. A free event.

A fun afternoon singing Tippett’s spirituals. Really lovely meeting 25 participants from several corners of South London who had signed up and then contributed so much to our Come and Sing event.

Glad it went so well. We hear that first-time participants ranged from local residents to Putney-ites. Having community activity in the Community Music Centre JagsChoralSociety means a lot to us.

I’ve just been to Solveiga‘s recital at the Latvian Embassy. We’re in for a treat tomorrow JAGS Music @JAGSschool #JAGSPianoFestival A kind, encouraging and interesting person. Obviously a lovely pianist too!

We are so looking forward to singing #VaughanWilliams Toward The Unknown Region with such a hugely talented orchestra from @JAGSschool

Members of Holst Choir sent in their uplifting individual recordings of Jerusalem which we had fun combining with Parry’s original Sib-ed up orchestration. Lovely to be able to share this with our whole school community in Mrs Huang’s virtual assembly this morning.

Thank you for all your lovely comments and good wishes today.

Beautiful!

Stupendous! We are so blest to be associated with @JAGSschool JAGS Music and tangentially to other Southwark Schools Learning Partnership schools. #Beethoven250 looks to have been a huge success at such a difficult time for music. Well done to Peter Gritton for playing such a leading role.

Some beautiful music-making in the #VWA #JAGSCMC last week - Bach on harpsichord, Hungarian cello music & Clair de Lune - bookended by brand new ensemble arrangements of When I’m 64 and Ol’Man River. Music can bring such joy and fulfilment to both listener and performer alike.

An atmospheric venue for our first proper rehearsal since March 2020 - in Bell House gardens Bell House This is Dulwich Village Peter Gritton led our rehearsal of VW Mystical Songs and a new piece we commissioned from Jonathan Lee - Lament for Zenocrate JAGS Music

Our second live rehearsal Bell House Local composer Jonathan Lee talks to us about how he found inspiration for his new piece ‘Lament for Zenocrate’ commissioned by the choir. So interesting to hear about the Dulwich connections to the story! #marlowe #burbage #edwardalleyn

The threat of rain did not deter us from giving the world premiere of Jonathan Lee’s “Lament for Zenocrate” Bell House We also dedicated Chilcott’s Irish Blessing to Elaine Shackleton, finishing with VW’s Mystical Songs with everybody singing the baritone solo line.

Beautiful Baroque music-making at Christ’s Chapel this lunchtime by our Year 10 string players - with 6th former Emily playing Handel on the magnificent chapel organ built, amazingly, in the year Handel died - 1759.

After a sensational concert with JAGS at Southwark Cathedral last week, we’re overjoyed to finish our term with a Community Carols event supported by James Allen Community Orchestra #jaco We raised over £200 for charity.

JAGS Music Award Holders playing chamber music together this lunchtime at Guards’ Chapel, Birdcage Walk - Haydn, Clementi, Schubert and a piece written for all of them by their Director of Music Peter Gritton There was just time to watch the Guardsmen on the parade ground.

Is this for real?! ‘Jumping at the Woodside’ learnt in one day - with no notated music! Thank you to Mark Armstrong Mark Armstrong and NYJO rhythm section for coaxing brilliant jazz out of us on the Southwark Schools Learning Partnership Big Band Day open to all SSLP schools @JAGSschool DulwichCollegeMusic
