Music WCSC

On Thursday 21st May the Music Department held our final Spring Recital of the year, which this time featured some of our talented Year 7 students. A real range of music and styles was on show as students took to the Performance Space stage to perform their chosen pieces. They were cheered on by a fantastic audience of friends and family and each student performed superbly. The Music Department would like to congratulate all of the students who have taken part in one of our recitals this Spring. With over 120 students from Years 7-11 taking part in our 4 events, it has been a record breaking year. We now look forward to our Young Musician of the Year competition in June and our Summer Concert on 9th July, before finishing the academic year with our annual Music Tour to Europe.

🎵🌍 We are so proud of our talented Music Tour students, who wowed crowds in Aachen and Drielandenpunt with their incredible performances! 😍🎶 One person said, "As long as young people keep playing music like this, all will be well with the world." 🌞🎵 #MusicTour @MusicWCSC

🎵🎻 Big applause for our Primary Orchestra! 👏👏 Parents were treated to a delightful performance of three beautifully rehearsed pieces in our Performance Space. 🎶 The young musicians absolutely blew us away with their talent and dedication. 🌟 Winston students were there to cheer them on, making it an even more special event. 💕 Can't get enough of these talented children?

On Thursday 29th June our Winston Young Musician of the Year for 2023 was crowned in the Performance Space. The evening saw a record 17 finalists take part, with each one giving a phenomenal performance to give our adjudicators an incredibly challenging decision. In the end Liv and Emily were awarded joint 3rd, Ollie 2nd and Josh (for his outstanding piano performance) was crowned our winner. The Music Department would like to say how proud we are of all the students who took part. We are incredibly lucky to have such an amazing set of musicians to work with. We’d also like to give a special mention to Year 10 student, Will, who ran the lighting, sound and cameras for the evening. @MusicWCSC
