By Miss Goodsell, Director of Music

Sunday saw five of our advanced string players join 58 other players from across ten other GDST schools in a fantastic day of music making at Sutton High School. The students were coached in their sections by members of the London Mozart Players with Otis Enokido-Lineham conducting the orchestra. The students enjoyed performing the well-known Capriol Suite by Warlock as well as a string orchestra arrangement of Andante Moderato by Florence Price.

Here’s what two of our musicians said about the day.

“The London Mozart Players were very welcoming and I loved performing with them.”  Giuliana Year 10

“It was a great bonding experience with other schools, I enjoyed making friends with my desk partner.” Annabelle Year 10

Beautiful playing from our @GDST String Day orchestra of Florence Price’s Andante Moderato. Thank you to all the students, @mozartplayers & conductor @OtisLineham for a wonderful day of music-making pic.twitter.com/d9Ad5K7Ypx
