West Buckland Displaying the Finest Music

31 Jul 2018

West Buckland School was able to show off its full repertoire of musical talent during their outstanding performance of Mozart’s Requiem at Exeter Cathedral, in front of a packed audience, in June.

Featuring choirs from both Prep and Senior schools, as well as a chorus of parents and staff, and with both Soprano and Bass soloists being former pupils, this really was a showcase for the school’s music. Not only that, but the choirs were accompanied by the very popular North Devon Sinfonia, which includes member consisting of current and past pupils as well as staff, including the Headmaster, Phillip Stapleton, on double bass.

West Buckland’s Director of Music, Emma Kent, was proud of their performance. “For a relatively small school we punch above our weight in music. Not only did we get a chance to show our audience what current pupils are able to achieve, but also, in our distinguished soloists, Ana Fernandez and Will Brockman, we can demonstrate that a bright career in music is achievable, with the right support and guidance at school.”
