The music department has been very busy over the past half term. Audtions have taken place for the school’s July production of “Phantom of the Opera” and Monday evening full-cast rehearsals are well under way. There has been plenty of competition for the preliminary rounds of the School Eisteddfod. Ben B and Christie B represented the school at the County rounds of the Rotary Young Musician (Ben came second in the instrumental class and Christie was highly commended).
The department hosted a Cluster String day on Wednesday 12th February. The string tutors worked with 40 young musicians and performed a short concert at the end of the day. Musicians from KH8 took part in a superb workshop with a string quartet from the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. It was wonderful to see our young string players swapping places with these talented music students to perform sections of a Mozart String Quartet.
No time to rest before half term – the finals of the School Eisteddfod take place on Thursday and Friday this week!
