SIOW Music Ensembles: Looking Back at last term
This year has rounded off with another 12 concerts involving 16 Southampton and IOW Music ensembles.
Spread over the last 4 weeks of term all groups performed to an incredibly high standard. It was an absolute pleasure for me to be able to attend most of these events. We are sure you are as proud of young musicians achievements as we are. Not only are the young people great musicians but they also conduct themselves in such a professional manner.
Our initial and mid tier groups generally gave performances in their rehearsal venues with our senior ensembles performing out and about.
Southampton Youth Brass Band gave a couple of outdoor performances at the St Cross Fair and at Romsey bandstand, performing to a wide audience, well beyond just family and friends.
Southampton Youth Wind Band gave a stunning concert at Chandlers Ford Methodist Church
Southampton Youth Concert Sinfonia also performed out in the community at Royal Victoria Country Park. This performance built on their inclusive and community project - Make Some Noise.
Southampton Guildhall was the venue for Southampton Youth Orchestra's 60th anniversary where they gave an incredible performance of Carl Orff's Carmina Burana together with singers from local schools and choirs
