The Annual Chamber Evening
presented an impressive cross-section
of chamber music from a number
of different ensembles – woodwind,
brass, strings and piano, and from
musicians in all seven year groups of
the school.
Coventry Cathedral was this term’s venue for the
Chapel Choir to sing Evensong.

Coventry Cathedral
The annual Choral Concert gave a large audience of parents
and friends a chance to hear the senior choirs from Abingdon
plus singers from St Helen’s in what was a fantastic evening.
Ben Schoeman
Masterclass
Seven of the School’s top pianists
welcomed the opportunity to learn from the
leading concert pianist, Ben Schoeman.
New Year Charity Concert
The School’s musicians took
to the stage early in the term
for the New Year Charity
concert featuring boys from all
year groups. The music was
impressive, ranging from Vivaldi’s
Concerto for Two Cellos (soloists:
Alex Reynolds and Carl Olavesen)
to variations on the James Bond
theme from the Lower School
and Brass Bands. The First
Orchestra ended the concert with
the first movement of Schubert’s
Unfinished Symphony, a work
that featured in their tour over
half term to Germany.
The benefiting charity was The
Project Trust.
