Forget bronze, silver and gold, today was all about the brass at day 2 of Summer School 2024!
As has become tradition, the choir started their day outside with Hilary for some warm ups ahead of another full day of singing, exploring their wide repertoire from Zadok the Priest to Ain’t no mountain high enough…
Meanwhile, the wind band and string orchestra were hard at work with Alex and Keiron, from Firebird to Paris Sketches.
Breaktimes were also an excellent time to catch up with fellow musicians, drink bottomless tea and coffee and browse the Bookwise stall of second-hand books and sheet music. We have also been joined on all 3 days by the MfE gift shop and Windblowers!
The guest artists for today were Heron Brass, a London-based quintet, treating us to another wonderful lunchtime recital in the Chapel before working with the brass players in a special workshop.
Which leads us to here, the end of Day 2 – ready to leap/climb/dive in to the 3rd and final day tomorrow…
Here’s our day 2 round-up, see if you can spot the special appearance by Alex and Rachel…
