This successful collaboration with the drama department meant that we had two and a half hours of through-composed music to learn off by heart and then performed with confidence. This could not have been done without the wonderful support of all the singing teachers. Likewise there was also an orchestra who only started learning the music a few weeks before the show and they must be commended for their skills, their patience and their ability—to Sabina Virtosu, Leesu Kim, Katie Jillings, Steph Tress, Emma Parkhouse, Oliver Marjot [S], Conor Turley [A], Keshan Vaikunthanathan [Hl], Max Gumpert [Hl] and Josh Cutrupi (GAP student) (as well as Chris Warner [CR], Susanne Henwood [CR], Oliver King [CR], Dave Harvey [CR], Ray Smith [CR] and Martin Proctor [CR]). We welcomed a new Head of Strings, Mrs Susie Henwood, this year. Fresh from running the string department for the Berkshire Maestros, Susanne Henwood has settled in to a very busy life here, teaching and directing. Camerata has expanded a little in size and has performed a number of times this year to great acclaim. String playing is expanding and the standard of performance remains exceptional. Michael Roberts stepped down as Head of Jazz in December to concentrate on his professional career—he is still seen teaching pupils as a Visiting teacher however and will continue to support jazz and song writing. We have welcomed Ben Greenslade-Stanton as a musician in residence, not just to run the Jazz band but also to create a cd. Inspiration was produced internally and features the best in song writing and performing on the Jazz/Rock side of College. It is an exciting project, fantastically realised and is a real tribute to what goes on in College on the song writing front.
