Pupils are celebrating today after receiving an astonishing 43 offers from either the University of Oxford or the University of Cambridge – the highest number in the College’s history. We are immensely proud of our pupils - a huge congratulations!
This week, the Chamber Choir travelled to London to sing Evensong at Westminster Abbey.
For their first Evensong service, they sang responses by Joanna Forbes-L’Estrange, Britten’s Jubilate Deo and the Stanford in G Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis, featuring some beautiful solos.
It is only through special permission that external organists are allowed to play, and Lower Sixth pupil Thomas was given the great honour of playing the organ voluntary for their Friday Service.
For their final service, they performed the Joanna Forbes-L’Estrange Canticles and Hadley’s My Beloved Spake, before being played out by Thomas’ stunning organ voluntary final from Symphony No. 1 by Louis Vierne.
This was another unforgettable experience for the Chamber Choir, and a true honour to sing in such a historic and beautiful setting.
