St Mary’s Rush Hour Chamber Music Concert

Tomorrow there will be a concert at St Andrew’s and St George’s West Church on George Street at 6:00pm given by young musicians from St Mary’s Music School.

The “Rush Hour” Chamber Music Concert is free and seventeen pupils will take part and works by Mozart, Brahms, Mendelssohn, Smetana, Martinu and Malcolm Arnold will be featured.

St Mary’s Music School is Scotland’s only independent specialist music school, offering a world class standard of music and academic education to musically gifted children aged 9-19 years in an inspiring, inclusive and supportive environment. It is also the Choir School of St Mary’s Episcopal Cathedral.  It is co-educational, non-denominational and attracts day and boarding pupils from across Scotland, the rest of the UK and internationally.

Dr Kenneth Taylor, Headteacher at St Mary’s Music School, said: “We extend a warm welcome to everyone who would like to come and hear pupils from St Mary’s Music School play a varied and exciting programme of chamber music. This is an annual concert and support for our talented young musicians is much appreciated.”

Entry to the school is by audition and assessment, based on musical ability and potential, regardless of personal financial circumstances.  There are currently 83 pupils and demand for places is high.
