On Wednesday 20th April Mr Bard and Mrs Curtis accompanied St Edmund’s Music students on a wonderful trip to the Symphony Hall in Birmingham.
Conductor Michael Seal, presenter Rachel Leach and the CBSO presented a lively hour-long guide to the orchestra, from the classical era to the sounds of today – with music drawn from the BBC Ten Pieces.
Music included Wagner, Bizet Carmem, Clyne and also the very upbeat West Bernstein West Side Story Symphonic Dances – Mambo.
Students thoroughly enjoyed the concert in the spectacular surroundings of the Symphony Hall and in particular DJ Switch was very entertaining!
Anthony said: “It was one of my favourite trips, it was amazing.”
Alex said: “It was good, very cool to see the BBC concert orchestra perform their ten pieces, fantastic experience.”
