What a brilliant night at the House Music Competition!

Congratulations to all the houses for putting on a truly stunning evening of music.

A huge well done to the winners, Poynter! You took us on a musical medley around the world and put on an outstanding show.

Soli Deo Gloria. The Schola sang superbly in two Carol Services today. It was an honour and inspiration that several of the composers of the pieces they sang attended. It was great to celebrate with the whole college community. #CarolService #Choir #Christmas

[@SECMusicSchool @SECMusicSchool]

We awoke to find that ‘Snow had fallen, snow on snow…’ and so our Carol Service is postponed until tomorrow. However, those who made it in sang one of our favourite pieces at break time. Enjoy! https://t.co/4gPWpEa15A

Bravo! Orchestra, Jazz Band and many super student groups/solos gave lovely performances at the Senior Citizens’ party today. A special appearance from ‘the three kings’ too!

Our newly formed Community Choir in our last rehearsal (but without the piano!) of Carol of the Crib by @JoForbesLE a superb, atmospheric piece #carols #Christmas

[@SECMusicSchool @SECMusicSchool]

All of the choral items in the @StEdmundsWare Carol Service '22 are by wonderful living composers! The Schola and Cantores are thrilled to be singing

Huge congratulations to every pupil who played and sang so brilliantly in the Michaelmas Concert this evening. Wow! It was incredible. A fitting celebration on St Cecilia’s day. Many thanks to the staff who helped & played and the lovely audience.

The College Jazz band sounded fab at the firework display and the next day we all went to @pizzajazzclub to see @nikkiiles2 and her amazing Jazz Orchestra. It was so inspiring and pupils loved Nikki’s incredible compositions and the whole band’s awesome playing. Many thanks!
