September 2017 – June 2018
welcome to
music at the royal hospital school 2017 / 18
Music at RHS The challenge becomes greater each year
to surpass the many musical highlights
of the previous season - the mesmerising
moments of Elgar’s Dream of Gerontius,
the pulsating beats of the BBC Big Band,
the stupendous cacophony of 700
primary school pupils beatboxing with
Dominic Peckham and hugely impressive
joint concert with the Royal Marines
Training Band. Well, we’ve done it again!
Over the next few pages, you will see
a greater selection of concerts, recitals,
masterclasses and workshops than ever
before. We are extremely proud of our
music making and the huge breadth
and variety we offer our pupils, as well as
engaging with communities in the surrounding area. If you are planning your first visit to
the School, or you are a returning regular concert goer, you cannot fail to be impressed
by the combination of the impressive standard of musicianship of our pupils and the
magnificent backdrop of the School’s riverside location.
With more than 50 events in the School’s outstanding concert venues, music at RHS
relies on the assistance of a huge range of sponsors, supporters, parents and pupils.
We offer our sincere thanks to each and every one, as their invaluable contributions,
together with those of the performers, help to make RHS such a unique and special
place.

ORGAN DAY
An interactive and fun event run by two of the country’s most dynamic and engaging young
organists, Tom Bell and Richard Brasier. In addition to hearing the monumental RHS chapel
organ played live, large screens will enable the children to see the organists’ hands and feet
at work, and with the aid of a portable camera we will take a virtual tour inside the organ and
discover exactly what lies behind those pipes that we see from the front.
The sessions will be based around Saint-Saëns’ Carnival of the Animals and in order to get
the best out of the experience, we will provide schools with learning resources and ideas to
enable the children to prepare prior to their visit to the chapel. These will include a short
video introduction to the organ; the music which the children will hear on the day;
a creative writing and artwork project inspired by animals big and small; and
a simple, fun song about the organ performed to a familiar tune.
To book your school place on either of these two sessions
please contact the Music School for more
information.
