We believe passionately that making music with others is the key to its enjoyment, and the widest range of ensembles both vocal and instrumental, large and small reflect that belief. Many performances are given each year both within the School, in the local area and on national or international tours.

 

The 60-strong Chapel Choir is open to all keen singers and provides the music for Sunday and festive services. In addition, each year the choir sings Evensong in a major cathedral and collaborates with the Cranleigh Choral Society in the performance of a full-scale choral work. The smaller, auditioned Chamber Choir provides an opportunity for advanced singers to perform to an exceptionally high standard.

 

There are two orchestras (a large Symphony Orchestra and a smaller String Orchestra), a Symphonic Wind Ensemble, Concert Band, Big Band and many chamber ensembles reflecting the tremendous diversity of the School’s musical life.

 

The annual House Performance Competition put together by the pupils themselves is a hugely popular event, as is the summer event ‘RocSoc’ which showcases the instrumental and vocal talents of numerous rock bands.
