Prospect Theatre entralled by student performances
Wonderful evening of music in the Prospect Theatre
Sixteen Music Scholars from The Sixth Form College Farnborough gave a magnificent performance to a packed Prospect Theatre at a concert to mark the completion of the first half term of the new academic year.
The College Scholars’ programme is now in its sixth year and attracts applicants from Surrey and Berkshire, as well as from Hampshire. The students gave solo and group performances featuring pieces old and modern, from Bach to Berkeley, and featured two pieces composed by students themselves, Chris Mills’s Fruhlingsglaube, which he accompanied on the piano to Jessica Mabin’s beautiful soprano voice, and Ralph Wyld’s jazz composition, EMF – the lost volts, played with confidence and assurance by Ralph (percussion), Roderick Oughton (drums), James Cowing (Saxaphone) and Katy Ovens (flute).
The outstanding musicianship displayed suggested a maturity beyond their years and they received the prolonged applause of the audience with a confidence and maturity of seasoned performers.
