THE ARMED MAN AT LICHFIELD CATHEDRAL - AN OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE FROM TEAM BROWNHILLS AND A GROUP OF EXCEPTIONAL MUSICIANS

We are bursting with pride. Our young musicians performed beautifully last night in an extraordinary concert at Lichfield Cathedral. They performed with musicians from The Arts Centre Telford and Jackfield Band in a 117-piece ensemble, including a performance of The Armed Man, by Karl Jenkins; a challenging and exhilarating choral work.

They sounded beautiful, performed with maturity, confidence and class and represented our school and town perfectly. The music they performed was exceptionally challenging and after months of work, they sang complex music in English, Latin, French and even a fictional language, in 4 parts (sometimes splitting into 6 parts!)

We also want to give a massive shoutout to our fantastic brass teacher, Mr C Stevens, who led Jackfield Band and conducted The Armed Man brilliantly. We are so lucky to have such a talented team of peripatetic teachers from Walsall Music Education Service who are all genuinely excellent musicians. Thank you so much, Mr Stevens for everything you do for our community and leading us last night.

Finally, we were delighted to have seen so many family members, friends, members of staff, former staff, local teachers, governors, our local MP Wendy Morton MP and so many other from our community. Thank you for sharing a really special evening with us.
