Musicians at Bede's and around 70 musicians from various prep schools enjoyed a fantastic and enjoyable orchestral day at the Senior School on Tuesday 7 February.

It was a wonderful day full of music making: students joined together to perform three pieces, Calypso Coupe for strings (with various percussion sounds, including duck calls, and bicycle noises!); Arabian Nights for Concert Band, and an American traditional folk song, entitled 'Chester'. Everyone was inspired to play together in a mega-orchestra, and leading the sectionals were Bede's music scholars and visiting staff. Mr Scamardella, Director of Music, and Mr Aburn, Assistant Director of Music, led the day. 

Mr Scamardella said "What a wonderful occasion, and a fabulous opportunity to celebrate the talents and music making of so many young people. We were delighted to host a number of Prep Schools, and we truly hope they got a lot from the day."
