THE SOMERHILL REVIEW 2023/24

Junior and Senior Summer Concerts

As the year came to an end, the Junior Summer Concert saw Year 3 and Year 4 pupils delivering an engaging and diverse program to complement the end-of-year prizegiving, celebrating their instrumental and vocal achievements both in the classroom and in ensemble practice. Ukuleles, xylophones, guitars, strings, and the joyful voices of all the pupils filled the Bickmore Hall with music. The Senior Summer Concert showcased the breadth of talent from our senior ensembles.Yardley Court and Derwent Lodge

choirs performed an array of Mr Macdonald’s favourite pieces, including moving choral renditions of poetry.The girls’ rendition of Confucius’ Where There Is Light was particularly touching, as was the boys’ performance of Silver Penny and An Apricot Tree . The peripatetic teachers joined for the finale, accompanying the pupils in a rousing rendition of Let’s Call the Whole Thing Off . It has been yet another extraordinary year for music at Somerhill, filled with moments of joy, growth, and inspiration.We eagerly anticipate what the next year will bring.
