We are delighted that two of our Music Scholars, Francesca in Year 8, and Corin in Year 9, were both selected from an extremely strong field of young musicians from across London to take part in the prestigious London Philharmonic Orchestra Junior Artists: Overture Day.
They both thoroughly enjoyed the experience and relished the opportunity to play in an orchestra made up of some of the most talented young musicians in London.
Francesca said, “It was a great experience being able to meet new musicians and perform together. During the day current members of the LPO supported us in the rehearsals and our final performance. They also shared their experiences of performing in a professional orchestra. At the end of day we performed two pieces we had been working on to family and friends: In the Hall of the Mountain King and Finlandia.
I would definitely recommend the experience because personally I learnt techniques that will help me along my musical journey.”
