Music back in full swing!

Although live performances have been cancelled this term, we’re delighted that the show has been able to go on, albeit virtually.

The annual Miss Margaret Davis Memorial recital celebrates both the legacy of Miss Davis to music in these schools, and the generosity of all who have helped — in so many ways — to build and support our young musicians. Performers George Roberts, Jiali Lu, and Junias Wong, played double bass, flute, and violin respectively.

Margaret Cookhorn, principal contra-bassoon of CBSO, and the Frith Piano Quartet treated Shells to a wonderful afternoon of music in the Ruddock Performing Arts Centre, playing Schubert’s ‘Trout’ Quintet.

Our first online Performers’ Platform of the year, featured works by Beethoven, Mozart, and Debussy
Peter Campbell-Kelly, CBSO leader and violinist, led and directed a 15-strong string ensemble rehearsal from the Fourths and Fifths
Come rain or shine, nothing stops the music department! Undeterred by the weather, our trumpeters rehearsed outside
The sound of music filled the Ruddock Performing Arts Centre as our Sixths took to the stage for their string orchestra rehearsal
Live instrumental lessons restarted

Poetry Exchange

One of the most famous poets from Birmingham was a man called Benjamin Zephaniah. One of his most inspiring attitudes was that he believed poetry is for everyone and that everyone writes poetry even if they do not write it down.

Fifths Leadership Trip to Aztec Adventure

Overall, the trip was a fantastic opportunity for the Fifth Year boys to develop their leadership, teamwork, and problem-solving skills. Their proactive attitude and enthusiasm were evident throughout the day, making it excellent preparation for their transition into leading the Leadership Option next year.
