The students worked alongside young people from partner schools of the Music in Secondary School’s Trust (MiSST), taking part in workshops and rehearsals in their instrumental groups, before coming together to showcase their work in an informal concert to round off the day.
Amongst the musical pieces they rehearsed and performed were Dua Lipa’s Dance the Night Away, Tito Puente’s Oye Como Va, and Byzantine Dances by Carol Brittin Chambers.
This is the fourth year that the Radclyffe School has been part of MiSST, a programme that enables all students to learn a musical instrument, with small group tutoring to develop their talent and technique.
Head of Music Daniel Corrigan said: “We are incredibly proud to be a part of the fantastic MiSST network of schools and provide our students with some amazing musical experiences.
"It was an absolute pleasure to spend the day watching our students demonstrate their independence, musicianship and enthusiasm for performance working alongside the other schools that they had only met that day.”
"The performance contained some fantastically challenging music which wowed the audience.
"We look forward to being able to perform the pieces to our own community at our SPA Celebration Evening this month.”
