High Praise for Music Festival Performers

The Woodwind and Brass heats of the Coulsdon & Purley Music Festival were held at Caterham School and we were delighted to present a number of soloist and ensembles from both Caterham Prep and Senior School. Congratulations go to all who took part and well done in particular to those who won their category: Piano Trio (Franchesca C, Alice H and Violet W) for the Coulsdon & Purley Cup for ensemble playing, Alfred D for the the Lansdell Cup for solo woodwind and for the unaccompanied class, Thomas B for the Advanced Concerto class and Ella W for the Solo Woodwind grade 1-2 class. These pupils will be performing in the Festival Concert and Award Ceremony on Saturday 22 April in the Humphreys Theatre. Pupils from Caterham School also took part in the Vocal and Strings part of the festival held at other locations in the area. The Coulsdon and Purley Music Festival is in its 79th year and is a long-standing local event that engages expert adjudicators and accompanists. It was wonderful for our pupils to receive such high praise for their performing.
