Superb Teacher Ling Chen (violin) and Friends Having wowed us the previous night in her recital with Constance Leung, we were treated to another helping from Ling on the Friday, this time in concert with a number of Carthusians, alongside some of her old beaks.

Like many such works, Vitali’s variations on a repeating pattern are in constant danger of outstaying their welcome, but the danger was held at bay, thanks to an exhilarating performance by both musicians. Following the Vitali, the concert upped sticks and moved to Llewellyn Room, where we heard a number of performances from Carthusian musicians with whom Ling had been working over the last two days.

Dignity & Indignation Amadeus Chapel Artifex It has often felt like a privilege to attend a play or concert at Charterhouse. Those who attended this production, which was both play and concert, were doubly privileged. First, the music. “Music is God’s art”, Salieri told us, and “God needed Mozart to let him into the world.” Listening to the singing of Aimee de Havas (g), or of Aishwarya Viswaneth (W), or the playing of Owen Chan (S), we believed him. The playing of all the talented musicians, who accompanied and enriched the action throughout, served as a timely reminder that we owe much of our musical heritage, with its power to rouse or heal, to continental Europeans. Most of the action of the play took place outside the west door of Chapel. A play performed outside runs the gauntlet of the weather, and although rain did temporarily stop play shortly after the start, there were many advantages to such a setting.

This year I made a robot with six legs and programmed a spaceship game on a DIY gamer. At the end of the year we had a celebratory barbecue and a competition to build a slingshot out of dowel and elastic bands. The satisfaction when our team shot a pebble 40 metres on our last go to hit the winning bullseye was incredible! Coding Club was a thrilling way to spend a Wednesday afternoon – and so I have been inspired to create a new society for next year: Coding & Robotics Society, which will mainly focus on the mechanics of robotics and some software management using Sketch in Arduino.
