Top talent

The sun’s out and the stage is set… it’s almost time for tonight’s Perrott Promenade!

Before we get going, we wanted to give a huge shout-out to two of our brilliant pupils, Joe and Tessa, who have composed and arranged music especially for this evening’s performance – no mean feat. 

Tessa in Year 5 has composed a piece for La Carotte Quartet to perform, with the appropriate title, ‘A Bunch of Carrots’. Tessa is a budding violin and piano player who had success in the Grade 3-4 group of the Bryanston Strings Competition in March.

After successfully arranging ‘633 Squadron’ for the Brass Ensemble last year, Joe in Year 8 has arranged the finale for this year’s Promenade, the classic 80s hit ‘Our House’ by Madness. This has involved arranging the piece for full orchestra and choir! In addition, Joe  has recently attained Grade 7 trumpet with distinction and was promoted, above his age, to become a member of the National Childrens’ Main Orchestra this year. 

We are exceptionally proud of both of them.
