St. Christopher’s Festival, Epsom

ETS once again performed superbly at St Christopher’s Festival and were admired by all of the other children from schools in Surrey and South London. Everyone was most impressed by their performance and commented on how inspirational they will have been to the younger children. Solo pieces from ETS included Pergolesi’s Stabat Mater Dolorosa which was sung to perfection. ETS then provided harmonies and descents in the massed choral items which included Bob Chilcott’s anthem, Can You Hear Me? This moving piece is unique as it employs sign language. Congratulations to ETS on another stunning performance. Also representing Caterham School this year were the Second Year Scholars’ Ensemble who performed solos as well as group items. A special mention must go to Ammara, Philip and Alice for their impressive solos. This festival, attended by seven other schools, was a wonderful opportunity for Caterham School singers and musicians to perform in the community and once again, we were very proud to share the high standards of music achieved here. Both ETS and the Second Year Scholars’ Ensemble made excellent ambassadors for the School.
