Although current restrictions prevented us from holding our annual Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols in St Paul’s Church, a recording was streamed on social media yesterday evening. If you missed the event you can still watch it here: https://t.co/l2iOMg9RBI #christmascountdown

Congratulations and thanks to all those involved in such a superb ‘virtual’ concert this evening. What a wonderfully uplifting way to start the weekend. #ICanBeMeAtHome #GreatNightIn @bmsmusic1

Well done everyone and especially Bethany for the composition. @BedfordModern @bmsmusic1

Our Senior School choir have been busy practising and recording their parts for 'The Green Meadow', a piece composed by Year 11 student Bethany Lunnon. Although our choirs are unable to meet and rehearse, it's great to hear them singing together again. #ICanBeMeAtHome @bmsmusic1

The long-awaited opening night of Our Country’s Good this evening did not disappoint. It was powerful, shocking, at times tender and funny but utterly spellbinding. If you haven’t got your tickets yet don’t delay! The final show is on Saturday. #talent #drama #music #theatre

'Our Country's Good' is a unique collaboration between the Music and Performance Arts faculties - The score is composed and performed entirely by students. Here's a sneak peek of some of the music.

Our musicians and singers delighted the audience with a versatile and varied programme at last night's #Christmas Concert. A highlight was the School Choir's performance of 'Sing we now of Christmas' a carol composed by talented Year 13 student Greg May. #christmascountdown

Meanwhile in the Senior School, The Groove Collective have been treating students and staff to a rendition of @ChakaKhan’s ‘What Cha’ Gonna Do for Me’ in the end of year assemblies. What a great way to end another busy term at BMS! #christmascountdown @bmsmusic1

A super turnout for the second lunchtime concert devised and performed by students on the Music Performance Programme, this week a selection of classical pieces. A group of OBMs enjoyed the performance before visiting an exhibition celebrating BMS in the '60s. #ExploreYourArchive

BMS certainly know how to put on a show and tonight was no exception as we celebrated artistic achievement. In drama, music, art, creative writing and film, students were recognised for their outstanding talent. Thank you to the inspirational Charlie Russell, OBM for joining us.

Excellent performances tonight. Well done to the seniors who played in Training Orchestra this evening too!

Our Junior School musicians and singers have been hard at work this week rehearsing for their Summer Concert this evening. All those who are joining us are certainly in for a treat. What a wonderful way to start the weekend! #summer #music @bmsmusic1
