Music at Lunchtime – Friday 9th February 2024

On the last day before half term, we were treated to a spectacular final music at lunchtime! We started the show with Astrid J playing a stylish Norwegian Dance by Grieg on her double bass. After this, we moved from the largest string instrument to the smallest with Yasmin L on violin. Yasmin played an intricately skilled rendition of the 3rd movement from Concerto in D by Mendelssohn; well done, Yasmin! After this, we moved swiftly on from strings to a heartwarming piano duet between Nia H and Ella B where they played ‘What was I made for?’ by Billie Eilish. This performance definitely proved how teamwork can make dreamwork! Next was Kira S playing Etude 76 in A Minor by Sibelius on piano. Her performance was truly breathtaking as she played the entirety of the piece by memory, a wonderful rendition. To conclude our concert, we were treated to a jazzy piano performance of ‘New Kid’ by Chris Norton and performed by Bella Kain, which was executed with style and great skill! Do listen to the recital here.
