APRIL 2008
London Philharmonic Orchestra
A performance by the Hit Squad on February 28th at Heritage House School.
A group of 15 musicians arrived at school to give a concert of classical music. The Hit Squad give occasional performances in hospitals, schools, factories and offices as part of their Education and Community Programme. Normally their chosen venues are within London, so we were really fortunate to receive their offer of a concert in Chesham!
They played music by Copeland, Wagner and others. There were some really exceptional responses to the music from our students, and by the end we were almost a hushed audience! The players said that they very much enjoyed playing for us and Anna Vernon-Evans kindly provided delicious home-made biscuits for them, in the hope that they may be enticed to come back again one day.
He have links with the London Philharmonic that go back several years, with our annual trips to their schools’ concerts. Families have also enjoyed their “Funharmonics” concerts held on Sundays at the Festival Hall (details available on their website: www.lpo.org.uk)
