Singing to our neighbours


Not long ago, five members of the sixth form vocal group performed at Farfields Residential Home – which is next-door to The Swan Building on the Banbury Road. Students included Gidon Fineman, Samuel Barrett, Emiko Yukawa, Min Jia Pan, and Matt Thorns.

The recital kicked off with a performance of 'Takwaba' – a Zambian piece, learnt during the college trip to Zambia in 2009 and arranged by Gidon Fineman, before going on to perform a succession of songs such as 'Hallelujah', 'Fields of Gold', 'Dream a little Dream', and 'Seasons of Love' from the musical Rent.

Matt Thorns then finished the concert with a solo performance of his own composition (written as part of his A level Music course).

It was a great opportunity to build a connection with the Fairfields residents, and we look forward to similar performances in future.
