Summer Solos 2
Friday 3 May, 7:30pm
Following the resounding success of our first Summer Solos concert last Friday, we now look forward to this Friday and the second in our popular series of six concerts that offer every pupil in the school the opportunity to perform on The Menuhin Hall stage.
From the eye-wateringly virtuosic to the serene and contemplative, there will be the sublime, the ridiculous and frequent glimpses of our theme this year - The Elements. We look forward to welcoming you here as we celebrate the incredible musical achievements of each and every one of our pupils.
Dates for the other Summer Solos concerts are: Friday 10 May, Friday 17 May, Friday 14 June and Friday 21 June. Programme details can be found on the Book Tickets page of this site.
This page will also be updated before each concert, both with programme information and a link that will enable you to livestream the event should you not be able to enjoy these glorious concerts in person.
