Bringing musical joy to others, Lower School Captain Max W treated the residents of Abbeyfield House to a special impromptu musical performance. Max, a chorister at Norwich Cathedral, delighted his intimate audience with a beautiful performance of Bach’s Prelude No. 1 in G Major on the Cello, followed by a heartfelt vocal rendition of John Rutter’s All Things Bright and Beautiful. His music captivated the residents, who thoroughly enjoyed this special opportunity to experience live music up close. Following his performance, Max spent time chatting with residents, sharing his ambitions for the future and enjoying their company. It was a lovely reminder of the power of music to bring people together, brighten someone’s day and create meaningful connections across generations. Well done, Max! We are incredibly proud of the way you are using your musical talents to bring happiness and joy to others.
Big hair, air guitars and legendary rock anthems took centre stage at Norwich Lower School’s House Music Festival, as Heigham, Conisford and Magdalen battled it out in an unforgettable celebration of music , teamwork and rock ’n’ roll! This year’s theme was ROCK ANTHEMS , and the brief was simple: turn it up to 11 and ROCK OUT! Heigham kicked things off in style with Bon Jovi’s classic Livin’ on a Prayer. Full of energy and attitude, their performance got the festival off to a flying start, with plenty of power, passion and a chorus that had everyone ready to sing along! Next up, Magdalen took to the stage, air guitars at the ready, for the arena-rock favourite Don’t Stop Believin’. With a fantastic sense of occasion, they embraced every moment, bringing big vocals, infectious enthusiasm and plenty of stadium-sized spirit to this iconic anthem. Finally, Conisford unleashed their inner Guns N’ Roses with the epic Sweet Child O’ Mine. Bandanas, rock-star confidence and spectacular fireworks helped create a show-stopping finale, proving that Lower School knows how to put on a proper rock concert!

What a fantastic evening of music-making! Our Lower 2 and Upper 2 Informal Concert was brilliantly well attended, with a wonderful audience response that made the occasion feel extra special. There was a real buzz in the room as pupils took to the stage to share their musical talents, showcasing a terrific variety of instruments, styles and songs. The piano was certainly kept busy, with performances ranging from the gentle, expressive sounds of Evening Melody by R Esmail to the playful character of The Cantankerous Camel by P Wedgewood and Mummies by P Blackwell. There were some wonderfully imaginative moments, too, with Minnie Mouse Hits the Town , Rufus and The Shakers bringing plenty of personality to the programme. From the elegance of Handel’s Fireworks Minuet to the jazzy rhythms of Ain’t Misbehavin’ and a rendition of Someone You Loved , our pianists demonstrated growing confidence, musical understanding and a real sense of enjoyment. The violin added another dimension to the concert with The Legend of Ashitaka by J Hisaishi, while our vocalists treated us to an exciting mix of songs. Powerful performances of This Is Me and Part of Your World sat alongside the much-loved Where Is Love from Oliver. There was plenty of contemporary sparkle, too, with Sunroof , Lush Life and This Is What It Sounds Like from K-Pop Demon Hunters. A special mention must also go to the duet performances, which showcased the fun of making music together and the importance of listening and working as a team. There were plenty of smiles along the way, from a piano rendition of Happy Birthday to the relaxed, sunny feel of Park Daze . Each performance brought something different, and it was lovely to see pupils developing the confidence to stand up in front of an audience and share something they had worked hard to prepare. Informal concerts are such an important part of musical life at Lower School. They give pupils the chance to celebrate their progress, learn from performing in front of others and, most importantly, enjoy making music. The enthusiastic applause and warm response from our audience showed just how much these performances were appreciated. A huge well done to everyone who took part. With such a happy atmosphere, an exciting range of music and so much musical confidence on display, it was a concert to remember!
