Choral Concert
Barton Peveril students performed in a Choral Concert at Romsey Abbey on Tuesday 4th December. The students were conducted by Alexander L’Estrange and performed his award-winning composition Wassail! Carols of Comfort and Joy in front of a large audience.
The College students performed alongside Wyvern Community Choir and local school pupils from The Mountbatten School, Wyvern College and Crestwood Community School.
Award-winning Composer
Speaking before the concert, the Composer and Conductor Alexander L’Estrange said:
“I’m really excited about working with students from Barton Peveril Sixth Form College for this performance of “Wassail!”. I love sharing the joy of music and singing, and it will also be a privilege to perform in the stunning Romsey Abbey.”
First year student Maddie Penfold, formerly of The Mountbatten School, said:
“Everyone really enjoyed the workshops with Alexander and getting to perform his music alongside the other choirs and the band.”
Barton Peveril Teacher of Music Gary Williams said:
“We are delighted that Alexander L’Estrange was able to join us for our performance of Wassail. It provided an invaluable opportunity for our students to work with an award-winning composer.”
