Making Musicians Returns to the Cathedral for Impressive Musical Recital

27 January 2022

Making Musicians returned to Norwich Cathedral this afternoon for a recital from two talented Norwich School pupils.

Making Musicians is a developmental arts enrichment programme for exceptional musical talent. Based at Norwich School, singers and instrumentalists from both within the School and the wider community participate in an annual series of workshops, lectures, visits, masterclasses and recitals designed specifically to nurture young performers and composers.

Today's recital, which was open to members of the public, featured two Lower 6 Music Scholars, Louis Dawes and Amy Griffiths.

Louis has been playing the euphonium for eight years and plays in Gateway Players (the senior orchestra) and the Norfolk County Symphonic Wind Band. In today's recital, he performed Euphonium Concerto, 1st and 2nd movements (Joseph Horovitz) and a lively version of the well-known tune Grandfather's Clock (George Doughty).

Amy performed an impressive selection of musical theatre songs from shows such as Hairspray, Hamilton, Les Mis and Wicked. She also treated the audience to an original song, 'Shouldn't You Want To?'. Amy is currently working towards her Musical Theatre Performance Diploma, which she will be taking at the end of this term.
