Symphony Hall to watch the CBSO

On Tuesday 11th February, our year 7s were treated to an inspiring trip to Symphony Hall to watch the CBSO perform an eclectic mix of musical pieces. With balcony seats, they had a spectacular view as the CBSO introduced the 4 instrumental families of the orchestra, demonstrating the wonderful range of sounds that the instruments can create. The performance took students around the world, from Ireland with Lord of the Dance, to Russia with music from Swan Lake. Students were energised when they heard famous, recognisable melodies including those from Star Wars and Pirates of the Caribbean! Another phenomenal experience for our students that really brings to life what is learnt during Music lessons in the classroom
