In what continues to be a very busy term for the Music Department, we had five groups in the recent Chamber Music Competition, held last Wednesday, 12th June at ‘The Piano’.

This included a group of combined CGHS and CBHS students.

The students all performed extremely well and worked extremely hard. They are to be commended for being able to perform such difficult music to an excellent standard.

I would like to thank Anne Clark and Alan Dixon who spent a great deal of extra time tutoring two of the groups.
