Over two hundred participants from across the Bolton School
family came together to show off their musical prowess with a
stunning interpretation of George Frideric Handel's
Messiah.
The School's Joint Orchestra, the Girls' Division Senior Choir,
the Boys' Division Senior Choir and the Bolton School Chamber Choir
were joined by the Bolton School Parents' Choir, which is made
up of parents, staff, governors, former pupils and friends from the
Bolton School
community. Four accomplished soloists, all of
whom teach at the School, also played their part in this wonderful
evening of inspiring music; soprano Stephanie Ives, mezzo-soprano
Anna Barry, tenor Kevin Matthews and bass-baritone Jonathan
Ainscough.
Mr Alistair MacKenzie, Head of Music in the Girls' Division, was
the conductor for this breathtaking concert, which, given the
complexity of this musical masterpiece, really did demonstrate the
School community's depth and range of musical talent. The
audience of over 500 people was truly appreciative and offered a
standing ovation at the end.
We look forward to Spring 2011 when they will perform Josef
Haydn's exciting work "The Creation".
