St Catherine’s Music Tour Prague July 2006
On July 14th 2006 forty five students, plus an array of instruments, descended upon Heathrow bound for Prague where we were to give three concerts. The school Chamber Choir, Gospel Choir and Orchestra had prepared a varied programme including Weber’s Clarinet Concerto, Bohemian Rhapsody, Les Miserables, Vivaldi double violin concerto, Fiddler on the Roof and a number of Gospel choir songs such as ‘Oh Happy Day’.
We all had a fantastic time in Prague and were warmly received by packed audiences. We performed in St Nicholas’ church in the beautiful Old Town Square, Holalhy Concert Hall and in Prodebady spa town.
It was an amazing experience to play in such a musical city. The students received standing ovations and were asked to give encores. Much fun was had by all and it was a most memorable experience. In 2007 the students will be producing a CD of orchestral chamber and gospel choir works.
