When all campuses come together with the exceptional musical talents of students and teachers – magic happens! That’s the best way to describe the 2nd annual Junior Schools’ Music Gala at Junior School Leidschenveen on Thursday night.
The Joint Choirs from all three junior schools kicked off the evening with a tribute to the late George Michael singing the uplifting song, Wake Me Up Before You Go Go. It set a great energy for the entire event, as they went on to play exceptional performances from soloists on the guitar, clarinet, and violin; the joint orchestra; and the junior and show choirs. The audience heard everything from classical pieces of Robert Schumann and Jock McKenzie to more modern renditions of Ben E. King’s Stand By Me and Try Everything by Shakira
As the Gala concluded, every performer came together with a showstopper from the Songs of Sanctuary: Adiemus by Welsh composer Karl Jenkins. With the accompaniment of the orchestra and the chants and melodies of the choir, the finale was absolutely marvellous. A better song could not have been chosen to sign off this momentous evening.
Kudos to everyone involved in this event – your valuable time and talents created a truly magical evening.
