Students from local primary schools joined students from Oathall Community College in raising the roof with their beautiful performance of Emile Sande’s “See Beneath You’re Beautiful” accompanied by members of the school orchestra and special guest, cellist Hannah Carter.
This was followed by the energetic Afro Blues rendition of “Obatala” arranged specially for the event by Martijn Van Galen. Head of Vocal Studies for West Sussex, Emily Barden, led the two hundred and fifty voice choir including an inspirational performance “Oh My Day”, which was beautifully sung in three parts. We admired the talents of all the young performers and especially those who stood up on stage with the senior students to lead the performances and the young man who played the keyboard.
You can listen to the performances via the link below. We hope that you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it!
