Sevenoaks singOFF
The annual singOFF competition has raised over £2800 for various charities supporting education for disadvantaged children in Mumbai, with extra earnings coming from bake sales during the interval. Our ten finalists showcased high-quality performances and unique renditions of their favourite popular tunes. Congratulations to the winner, winner Jamie Ho, runners-up Emma Dulerayn and Valerie Huang, and to all performers for a spectacular evening.
Ji Liu Piano Masterclass
We were delighted to host a masterclass for rising concert pianist Ji Liu, to give one-to-one piano coaching to a number of our young pianists. Liu also delivered a 20-minute mini-recital where he performed his own arrangements of some famous tunes including James Bond.
Born in China and now based in London, Ji Liu’s innovative and creative approaches to piano-playing have inspired many of our masterclass participants.
Senior Musicians’ Platform
On Wednesday evening our group of Sixth Formers came together to put on an amazing concert in the Recital Room. It featured brilliant solo performances, duets and ensembles. The evening was very well received by parents, teachers and peers and we are delighted that our performers could showcase their musical talents and hard work.
