Featuring over 150 musicians from across the Senior School, the Spring Concert was a fantastic celebration of the wealth of instrumental playing and choral singing which thrives within our community at Habs.
Featuring performances from Wind Sinfonia, Percussion Ensemble, Senior Choir, St Catherine Singers and Symphony Orchestra, the programme included a wonderfully diverse range of repertoire, from the exhilarating symphonic writing of Rossini’s Thieving Magpie Overture to the exquisite choral world of Faure’s Requiem.
Special congratulations to our two guest concerto soloists, Anna (U6 HV) and Eunice (U6 HV). Anna performed the third movement from De Beriot’s Violin Concerto No.9 in C major, and Eunice played the first movement from Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 23 in A major. Thanks also to Larissa Cowley (L6 HR) who took to the stage for her conducting debut, directing Wind Sinfonia in a performance of ‘When Somebody Loved Me’, specially arranged for the concert by Mr Loveday.
With a mix of smiles and tears, we bid a fond farewell to our Upper Sixth musicians for whom the Spring Concert was their last. With special presentations made from fellow students, it was moving to see how much music has meant to them during their time at Habs and we know that they will go onwards sharing their musical passion and commitment wherever they go.
