Last week, over 260 musicians and singers took part in our Autumn Concert, staged for the first time in our brand new, state-of-the-art Redland Hall.

Performances were given by all the school’s larger ensembles – the Concert Orchestra opened the concert, the Year 7 choir sang a medley from *Oliver* and the evening closed with the Redmaids’ High Community Choir singing *City of Dreams* from La La Land and *Sweet Dreams* by the Eurythmics. The Flute Group, Wind Band, Senior Choir, Symphony Orchestra, Youth Choir and Senior Brass Group also performed.  

Highlights from the evening included the *Close Encounters* a capella group singing *Sinner Man* by Shaw, the Chamber Choir’s spine-tingling performance of *Ava Maria* by Holst and the Chamber Orchestra’s soothing rendition of Gershwin’s *I’ve got Rhythm.*

The evening culminated in a rousing performance on a James Bond theme by all performers.

As Mrs Harrison, Director of Music at Redmaids’ High School said, “The girls thoroughly enjoyed performing in our wonderful new Redland Hall to a packed, appreciative audience. It is wonderful to see the girls showing such commitment to their music, which resulted in a really high standard of musicianship.”

Our Drama and Music Departments join forces to stage a performance of *The Wizard of Oz* in Redland Hall from Wednesday 6 to Friday 8 December. Following this our *Close Encounters* a capella group will perform  at the Brunel Sinfonia Concert on Sunday 10 December in the United Reform Church, Henleaze.
