Oakham’s year of music-making was rounded off with the Big Band’s annual summer concert in the Doncaster Close marquee, wowing audiences with outstanding performances and showcasing the work of our wonderful instrumentalists and singers this year.
Under the leadership of Steve Foster, the band performed two sets of classic jazz and swing hits, interspersed with stunning instrumental and vocal solos. A special mention to our singers (Hallé Stone, Simi Hirani, David Harrison, Lily Reynolds, Sophie West-Sadler and Will Fearn) and instrumental soloists (George Marshall, Rebecca Cao, Jason He, Dan Miles and Wilfie Price) for their performances.
The evening is always hugely popular, and one which brings the whole school community together to celebrate our talented musicians here at Oakham. On a summery evening on the penultimate day of term, it made for a perfect way to finish Oakham’s concert calendar and conclude another fantastic year of music-making at the School.
