Lunchtime Recital at St John鈥檚 Church, 91福利社
Pupils from the prep school performed alongside senior school musicians in a superb recital at one of our local churches. The Prep Piano Quartet opened the concert and performed with great confidence, playing a selection of pieces written specially for young piano trios. From the senior school, there were excellent performances from several of our chamber ensembles: Piano Trio, String Quartet and Flute Choir. The Flute Choir was only established this year, but already they are performing to a high level and gave a very mature performance of the beautiful 鈥楢ndantino鈥� by Bozza. The String Quartet treated the audience to movements from the famous 鈥楨ine Kleine Nachtmusik鈥� by Mozart, while the Piano Trio gave a polished rendition of one of Reinecke鈥檚 Piano Trios.
Solo flautist Lucy B performed confidently in a sublime arrangement of 鈥楽moke Gets In Your Eyes鈥� by Jerome Kern, while Ammara K (clarinet) and Alice H (flute) treated the audience to two wonderful Saint-Saens pieces: the 鈥楻omance鈥� for flute and the 鈥楽onata for Clarinet and Piano鈥�. The Zheng Piano Trio ended the recital with a precise performance of Tarantella in A minor, also by Saint-Saens. The Trio has recently performed this piece at the Pro Corda Chamber Music Festival, and have progressed to the semi-final of the competition.
The recital was part of the church鈥檚 regular Munch with Music concert series, which has a loyal local following, giving 91福利社 pupils an excellent opportunity to perform in their local community.
