Summer Term Music Events

We have an extremely musical summer coming up at Queensbridge. Please put the dates below in your diaries and do come along and support us with our singing and playing if you can. Please look out for letter about any trips and visits, and return your permission slips promptly!

We were lucky to get tickets to see the London Symphony Orchestra school concerts this term. Year 6 will be getting creative and will hopefully be inspired by What Do You Do With an Idea? - composed by Paul Rissmann and based on the book by Kobi Yamada. They will be visiting the Barbican concert hall on Monday 10th June. Year 1 are taking part in the Hairy Maclary concert on Monday 17th June.

We are of course taking part in the Hackney Singing and instrumental Festivals as usual, with three full yeargroups visiting the Round Chapel for the following performances:

Tues 18th June, 10.45am: Year 2 at Infant Singing Festival
Weds 19th June, 4pm: Year 5 at Junior Singing Festival
Fri 21st June, 2pm: Reception classes at the EYFS Singing Festival
Thurs 26th June, 4pm: Queensbridge Orchestra at the Instrumental Festival. 

Year 3 are taking part in a project with the Grand Union Orchestra. They will have two in-school workshops with members of the orchestra during May and June. Then we hope that many of the children will be able to join us for the final performance in the Round Chapel on Thursday 27th June, along with members of our percussion group. These children will also need to take part in a full rehearsal after school on Tuesday 4th June. 

Hopefully we'll round off the term with a concert in school and a chance for the groups to share all of their hard work. See you there!
