Posted on: 2/05/2019Vivo at Cadogan HallAnother fantastic achievement by students from our new music school, Vivo. This week our students joined with other MiSST schools and the Pico Players to perform at the prestigious Cadogan Hall – the resident music ensemble at this venue is the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra! Our beginner level MiSST Together KS3 orchestra opened the evening with rousing pieces from Beethoven and Nekrasov. They then enjoyed the rest of the concert as audience members, observing the KS4 orchestra, concert band and the Pico Players. Our students left the concert feeling very proud of their performance and completely inspired by the level of musicianship demonstrated by the other performers.
Posted on: 2/05/2019Community Music WorkshopLast week, EGA Music welcomed adult learners from the Islington Centre for Refugees and Migrants to a fun-filled workshop on Brazilian samba music! The afternoon session kicked-off with refreshments and team building between our students and the visitors. It was wonderful to observe the friendly exchanges and kindness that flowed so naturally between all those involved. With our students offering refreshments and taking a genuine interest in the adults who were visiting with us. Our resident samba band ‘Sambalistic’ performed and then worked in groups to teach the different grooves and samba calls. The afternoon ended with an energetic samba performance by the whole team. One visitor did ask if we might be able to perform for Michelle Obama but at such short notice we could only obtain Ms Southall. Another fantastic example of our special EGA community spirit. Well done girls!
Posted on: 1/05/2019Chefs in Schools FilmThis week, we held auditions for a voice-over role for the 'Chefs in Schools' film. Students met the Director of the short film and recorded their voice-overs on a professional microphone in the recording studio. Chefs in Schools trains school kitchen teams to cook from scratch using fresh ingredients, which allows pupils to learn in the classroom and link this with what they eat in the dining hall. Essentially, equipping them with the skills they need to give themselves a healthy future. A huge good luck to all the students who took part in the auditions. We will be showcasing the short film in assemblies once the editing is complete. Watch this space!
