On 11 December,  the Rispoli Theatre was filled with the uplifting sounds of over 70 musicians brought together from across the College’s three music courses and music-based clubs and activities, including the College’s Session Orchestra, Chamber Ensemble, Guitar Ensemble and Choir.

John Evans, Head of Music at the College said, “It was a wonderful evening of diverse music-making that provided the audience with a snapshot of what the department offers. The variety of repertoire makes it difficult to single any ensemble out, as all the performers rose to the occasion.  

“Our Session Orchestra performed songs by Rufus Wainwright, Sam Smith and the 60’s Christmas Pop classic, Marshmallow World, with Choir singing a crowd-pleasing medley from Les Miserables and Ding dong! merrily on high. Guitar Ensemble once again showcased the depth of talent in the department with their set of two specially arranged pieces by their director, and department technician, Sean Boothe.  

“Alongside these large-scale ensembles, we heard solo items from Marthinus Louw, who has recently been awarded a scholarship to Trinity Laban, and grade eight violist, Cam’ron Pindi. The concert was the perfect way to conclude the term and send both students and staff  into the Christmas holiday.”
