Pupil concert 2018

So our pupil concerts at Wesley Hall are just a week away! Saturday 6th Oct ??

We have a record number of young performers this year, so will try and make a prompt start for the ‘Get Set’ (beginners – gd 1) and Foundation (Gds 1-2) children at around 4pm.

Coffee and cakes for everyone is from 5-5.30 and then there will a a slightly longer concert starting (earlier than previously advertised!) at 5.30 from the Intermediate and Advanced students, as there are so many fantastic performances to fit in.

Tickets on the door from just before 4pm.

Donations of £3 per adult and £1 per child. All money taken will go straight to the fabulous Goldigger charity, for their work in improving the lives of young people.

Please bring your home baked (and ready cut) cakes straight to the kitchen when you arrive at either 4pm or 5pm. Thank you so much!

Thank you to everyone who performed on October 7th at Wesley Hall. A great evening of performing to one another and our families.  Some outstanding playing from a number of pupils, I’m very proud of everyone who took part. We raised £275 for Baby Basics Sheffield, so thank you if you came, sold tickets, made cake, brewed tea… it was all a great success.
