‘Forged By Fire’ performance

June 25, 2021 by billkirtley

We were extremely excited that our KS2 children were able to take part in the Share Sound music project. They really enjoyed being involved in the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment workshops and the professional recording sessions of their contributions to the ‘Forged By Fire’ performance. As always, the children were a credit to our school. The livestream performance is at 7:00pm on Wednesday 7 July – please come along and watch. If you haven’t attended a livestream concert before, it’s like attending a ‘proper’ concert but from your own sofa. The audience don’t appear on screen (it’s not like a meeting).
