A packed Prospect Theatre enjoyed a wonderful evening of music from the talented students of Farnborough Sixth Form College on Friday evening.
The evening started with the College Big Band’s interpretation of Yankee Doodle, arranged by Rich de Rosa, and included a variety of pieces by Sixth Sense, ranging from Miles Davis’s Seven Steps to Heaven to Blue Rondo a la Turk by Dave Brubeck.
The New College Ensemble, NCE, provided a contrast of moods and music with Schumann’s Kinderszenen and Bartok's Romanian Folk Dances.
Finally, the Chamber Choir and College Choral Society sang a variety of pieces from Bernstein’s The Chichester Psalms through to Aaron Copland’s Minstrel Song.
College Director of Music, Paul Bambrough, paid tribute to the students for their commitment throughout the year, and particularly to the leavers in whose honour the concert was held.
Principal John Guy congratulated the students on their magnificent contribution to College life – the College would be a poorer place without the 2009 leavers.
