First Jam Night A Roaring Success

On Sunday 9 February, after a hugely successful Scholars’ Concert the preceding evening, crowds thronged once again to the Burns Recital Hall, this time to a Jam Night organised and run by our own in-house songster legend Tom Craggs-Ward.

George's feet

This event saw several talented pupils (and Mr Hodges in a startling and moving cameo appearance) given the chance to perform in a relaxed, non-classical context. There were well-received contributions from the Year 9 band White Flag, Andrew Egan and his band, Holly Bird in a virtuosic cup solo and George Rennison. It would be fair, however, to say that the twin highlights of the evening were the closing performances by Tom Craggs-Ward’s alter ego, the marvellous Tom Layer, and Tom McConnell, son of the School Chaplain, who is currently touring the UK. Both of these young singer/songwriters showed themselves at the top of their game, using loop pedals to ingenious effect and eliciting ecstatic responses from the large audience.

The evening was all the more remarkable for being entirely student-run, and Tom deserves tremendous praise for putting on such a slick and entertaining a show. Thanks also must go to Alex Crawford-Ewart for his assistance with sound. We hope that this will be the first of many such events and look forward to the next!

On the Sunday 16 June, some 150 choristers rehearsed for a performance of Faure’s Requiem in the School chapel. The performance also included pieces by the composer’s Cantique de Jean Racine and Pavane played on the organ by William Saunders. The choir included former choristers of the Royal Hospital School Chapel Choir and former and present members of the Holbrook Choral Society. It was directed by Peter Crompton with William Saunders at the organ and a considerable sum of money was raised for the Chapel Choir Tour of Northern Germany which takes place at the end of the summer term.

The Holbrook Choral Society Summer Concert “From West End to Broadway” proved to be a roaring success as they performed to a large audience in the chapel at the Royal Hospital School on Saturday evening.

The concert was given by Holbrook Choral Society and orchestra with the Chamber Choir and soloists from the Royal Hospital School. The works performed included music from Les Miserables, the Rhythm of Life from Sweet Charity and Errol Garners famous tune “Misty” performed by Jessica Hazelton, soprano, with Elizabeth Ponsonby on the saxophone. Elizabeth Leaver and Jack Rickards also performed “All I ask of You” from the Phantom of the Opera by Andrew Lloyd Webber.

William Saunders played an organ arrangement entitled “The Sound of Musicals” by Nicholas Freestone showing off the schools famous organ in a different genre.  All of this was interspersed with great opera choruses and arias performed by the Holbrook Choral Society with Teresa Pells, soprano soloist.  The large orchestra which had been assembled performed Broadway show stoppers including “That’s Entertainment”, “Cabaret”, “Mame” and “There’s no business like show business.” Towards the end of the concert the audience was treated to “Sunrise, Sunset” from Fiddler on the Roof and an appropriate rendition of “Singing in the Rain”.

The Concert concluded with an impromptu performance by Peter Crompton of “This is the Moment” from the musical Jekyll and Hyde. It was a fitting, and stunning, ‘Swan song’ at Peter’s last concert as Director of Music at the Royal Hospital School before he retires at the end of this term. Peter, the choirs, orchestra and soloists received a well-deserved standing ovation.
