THE SOMERHILL REVIEW 2023/24

Senior Carol Service The Senior Carol Service, held in the enchanting Tonbridge School Chapel, was, like every year, a magical experience. Our senior choirs, led by accomplished choristers, delivered exceptional performances, with the YC choir offering a beautiful rendition of Gesu Bambino and the DL choir moving the audience with In the Bleak Midwinter . The stunning contributions of the Yardley Court Tonbridge choristers filled the grand chapel with the spirit of the season.The congregation was also invited to join in several traditional carols, adding to the sense of togetherness. Grandparents’ Day Our Grandparents’ Day concerts for Year 1 and Year 4 were heartwarming events that brought smiles and happy tears to the audience.Year 1 charmed everyone with their lively performance of Froggie Went a Courtin’ , complete with two playful false endings.Year 4 pupils showcased a wide variety of music, with the boys delivering a rousing version of Wellerman , with solos from the boys who auditioned to become Tonbridge choristers, and the girls captivating the audience with The Wreck , an evocative round that left a lasting impression. Spring Concert The whole school Spring Concert was another musical highlight, celebrating the hard work of our ensemble groups over the year.The full orchestra started the evening by delivering a thrilling rendition of the William Tell Overture . All ensembles followed, from the energetic Guava Guy performed by the Brass group to the hauntingly beautiful Shalom Chaverim by our cello ensemble; the concert was a testament to the dedication of all involved.
