24 Mar

Timeless classical songs will resonate at Swindon’s beautiful Christ Church for a truly community focused evening of entertainment this spring. The cream of Commonweal school’s music department will entertain with items they have practiced and polished during their extra- curricular clubs. This features Concert Band, Senior Choir, Chamber Choir, Junior Choir and a plethora of talented soloists. “Since January, all music ensembles have been busy rehearsing for our forthcoming Spring Concert on 24 March, which will be held at Christ Church, Cricklade Street, Old Town. The Concert Band is looking forward to performing their up-tempo marching band numbers, whilst the Senior Choir is making fantastic progress with the ‘Rhythm of Life’ in particular. The Junior Choir is coming on leaps and bounds, and is excited about the collaboration with the older singers and the Christ Church choir singing Rutter’s ‘I believe in Springtime’. There will also be some selected soloists performing with piano accompaniment. The students have shown a tremendous commitment and thoroughly enjoy performing, I am very proud of them,” commented Aniela Zylinski, the school’s music teacher who is organising the event along with the school’s community arts development officer, Josie Williams.
The evening also features Christ Church choir who will be performing a joint piece with the young people. Twenty young drummers from Lethbridge Primary School will have the opportunity to perform a short rhythm they have learnt at their after school drum circle.
“Commonweal School has a long tradition of performing in the community and has a good reputation for its output. This is a wonderful opportunity which came out of the fact that our school hall will be out of action for many months due to necessary upgrading, and as they say, the show must go on!” commented Josie Williams. “I can’t think of a better place to play except perhaps the Albert Hall,” she added in jest.
Tickets are now on sale from the Finance Office, tel 01793 612727, at £3.50 each, and proceeds will be split between the School and the Church. The concert starts at 7pm. Please be aware that parking is very limited at the Church.
