Magical May Serenade

Wednesday, 12 May 2010

Bolton School Girls' and Boys' Divisions combined for a magical May Serenade, filling the Great Hall with rousing performances on a fine Spring evening.

The very best of Bolton School's musical talent was on show for the concert, which involved the Senior Concert Band, Intermediate Concert Band, Joint Orchestra, String Ensemble, Percussion Ensemble, Middle School Choir, Senior Flute Choir, Junior Chamber Choir, Chamber Choir, Senior Choir and the Jazz Band.

The Joint Orchestra opened with an enthusiastic rendition of 'Dance of the Tumblers' from The Snow Maiden followed closely by a compelling performance of 'Presto' from Violin Concerto by the String Ensemble, featuring a breathtaking violin solo from Isobel Howard in Year 5. Next to take the stage was the Intermediate Concert Band with their lively 'Slumdog Millionaire' performance, and the evening continued with many outstanding offerings including Coldplay and The Carpenters Medleys from the Senior Concert Band and 'California Dreaming' sung beautifully by the Middle School Choir. The Junior Chamber Choir moved the audience with 'Gaudeamus Hodie' and entertained them with 'Sway' while the Chamber Choir performed a truly inspiring version of 'The Rhythm of Life'.

The Joint Jazz Band concluded a fantastic evening in style with foot tapping performances of 'Session Samba' and 'Have You Seen them Cakes'. Adding to the creative atmosphere of the evening, exam pupils' Art, Textiles and Technology work were on display in and around the Great Hall for the audience to enjoy.
