Year 5 & 6 Winter Concert
All news
On Friday 5 December, Year 5 and 6 were excited to share all their hard work, with stellar performances that got everyone into the festive spirit!
String Sinfonia started proceedings, with a lively rendition of Hark the Herald and Cold Frosty Morning. Senior Percussion Ensemble treated us to the funky beats of their own arrangement of Aquarela do Brasil, whilst the Chamber Orchestra brought our quartets together to play Stargazer. Senior Guitar Ensemble strummed Winter Visions and Yosemite, whilst Wind Sinfonia gave us a super rendition of Brazilian Sleigh Bells.
Our choirs were also outstanding. Senior Voices, our open choir, wowed us with their performances of The First Snow and Seasons of Love, which was the perfect sentimental tune for the festive season! Gray's Inn Singers, our auditioned choir, gave stunning performances of Scarborough Fair and Winds.
The CJS 'Music for All' programme ensures the curriculum supports the musical development of every child at CJS and their musical progress was evident in the Year 6 song The Snow Begins to Fall and the Year 5 song Silver Bells Walking in the Air Medley. Year 5 and 6 combined their talents for a joyous finale, singing Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree, before they then lead the communal singing, where our talented parents got in on the action!
Congratulations to all the wonderful children - what super stars!
