JOINT CONCERT WITH SHREWSBURY SCHOOL MUSICIANS

This term the Hallfield Orchestra were joined by musicians from Shrewsbury School for a joint concert.

Hallfield’s violin teacher Mr Rob Jones conducted the full ensemble for the three pieces - Old Joe Clark, Skip to My Lou and Lord of the Dance - and the Head of Strings from Shrewsbury School, Mr David Joyce, talked about the violin and viola and demonstrated both instruments. Mr Joyce and the students from Shrewsbury School played a Rondo and an interlude from Puccini’s La Bohème.

“I am really passionate about our pupils playing their instruments in ensembles and the collective standard of all of our ensembles is improving significantly each year. I think parents were surprised by the standard of the Hallfield Orchestra since they last performed a year ago.”

- Mr Jopling, Director of Music, Hallfield School
