It’s been a while but we are very proud of what our Chamber Choir have been able to do in spite of restrictions. This performance of ‘Nearer my God to Thee’ was performed at our Remembrance Service in November.

Here’s a link to this year’s carol service. It’s a little different to our usual service of Nine Lessons & Carols. Glad to keep this tradition alive albeit in a truncated format. Thanks to @MovImageBGS and @BGSChamberChoir.
Happy Christmas one and all. https://t.co/Tw1YIur2DN

Year 8 made the most of the good weather yesterday. Nothing stops a bit of “Floreat Bangoria”. Even better when the boys realise the Latin text is stamped into our school gate. #schoolsong #opportunity #carmennostrum

Just the loveliest thing to see and hear today - a year 8 Music class taking place outside, learning and singing the school song. 🎶

This letter in today’s Telegraph, actually written by Emily Wenman, highlights the plight of church musicians all over the country. Please share this as far and wide as you can. -bc

Our choir hasn’t stopped singing over lockdown & I’m pleased to announce that we’re almost finished a virtual project we have been quietly working on for the past month. Editing takes a while but I hope you’ll agree that this project is worth the wait! @MusicDeptBGS @BGSPrincipal

[BGSChamberChoir @BGSChamberChoir]

@LukeMcWatters @univofstandrews Congratulations Luke!

[BGS Music Dept @MusicDeptBGS]

Well done to the 10 BGS musicians (& various friends) involved in putting together this arrangement in the midst of lockdown. Here’s a clip from the famous singalong coda. The full version is out there and worth checking. #NImusic #Bangor
