Within 12 hours of the curtain falling on the final evening of our fabulous production of ‘Singin in the Rain’, it was a pleasure to welcome over 30 talented young musicians from schools across the region to start preparing for this year’s Canterbury Festival Youth Orchestra concert. This year Kent College will be hosting this special event, with the concert in the Great Hall conducted by Director Music Julian Ross on Tuesday 22nd October.

Lots of wonderful music at speech day, including performances from the Flute Group, Jazz Band and Sedecim. Also the day when we sadly have to say goodbye to some really amazing students who have given so much to the musical life of the school. However, a wonderful day of celebration today and amazing to be performing all together one last time with our ‘outgoing’ Year 13s. Well done to everyone and thank you for a most memorable musical year!

Five of Kent College’s most accomplished soloists performed to a full cathedral audience alongside the London Welsh Male Voice Choir. Stunning solos from Florence (year 10) on the cello and Emily (year 11) on the flute, as well as a beautiful vocal trio from Tom (year 9), Poppy (year 10) and Martha (year8). It was a real honour to be a part of this very special concert and KC musicians did themselves proud! Kent College Canterbury

A little clip from the dress rehearsal for our Lower School production.

Wonderful to hear our guitar ensemble rehearsing at lunchtime lunchtime today with Mrs Todd. Great work everyone!

... and here is Sedecim's traditional end of year rendition of 'Blue Moon', usually sung on 'Speech Day', and this year featuring in the online Speech Day video.

As we close this extraordinary year, we share two lighter performances from our wonderful chamber choir, Sedecim. Sedecim has continued to sing throughout this year of the pandemic, with highlights including a most memorable live streamed Advent Carol Service and terrific pre recorded Carol Service, as well as several videos of anthems used in weekly Friday online collective worship. The two items, 'Over the Rainbow' and 'Blue Moon' were recorded in our final rehearsal of the year and featured in the online 'Speech Day' film. We are incredibly proud of everything these young singers have achieved under some very difficult circumstances and we express our particular thanks to Alicia, May, Billy, Ben and Morgan who leave KC having given many years of wonderful singing and dedication to the choir. You will all be very much missed. Have a great summer everyone and we look forward to more wonderful music making next year.

A little offering from Sedecim singing 'Upon Your Heart' by Eleanor Daley. The choir recorded this to be included in this Friday's whole school online collective worship. We hope you enjoy it.
