Parents, boys, staff and friends of the school gathered in the Music School Recital Hall on Thursday evening to enjoy this year’s Spring Chamber Music Concert.
The concert featured a host of our smaller music ensembles, including piano trios, string quartets, the wind quintet, horn ensemble, saxophone ensemble, cello ensemble and guitar ensemble. The wide repertoire of music performed featured works by Baroque favourites Handel and Vivaldi, Romantics Beethoven and Dvořák, as well as more modern composers such as Gershwin, Warren and film composer John Williams.
Particular highlights included the New Jazz Collective’s fabulous mash-up of Sing a Song of Song (Kenny Garrett) and Y Todavia La Quiero (Joe Henderson), and the Chamber Orchestra, who gave a truly stunning, and technically masterful, performance of the first movement of Tchaikovsky’s Serenade for Strings.
