This week’s Lunchtime Piano Concert in the MMC Foyer was a wonderful celebration of musical talent and creativity. Students from across the school treated audiences to a diverse programme of pieces, demonstrating both technical skill and artistic flair.
The concert opened with Leonie performing Cloudscapes by Ailbhe McDonagh, followed by James’ lively rendition of Grandview Boulevard Strut by Martha Mier. Jadine charmed listeners with Menuet & Trio by Haydn, and Thomas gave an expressive performance of All of Me by John Stevens and Toby Gad.
Freya captivated the audience with Prelude No. 1 in C BWV 846 from The Well-Tempered Clavier by J.S. Bach, while India impressed with her own original composition, Playing with Stars. The concert concluded beautifully with Gaia’s performance of Rumores de la Caleta No. 6 Op. 71 by Albéniz. These concerts provide invaluable opportunities for students to perform and share their love of music, while developing confidence and stage presence in a supportive environment.
