Etone College has taken part again in the Heart of England Music hub’s digital music festival. This year, we had the opportunity to showcase Miss Newcombe’s string group performing Pachelbel’s Canon. This year, a staggering 192 music groups from across Coventry, Warwickshire and Solihull have put together a playlist made of just one minute per group to showcase the wide range of talents in our region. This is the second year of the digital festival and last year’s work was shortlisted for a National Music Mark award!

We were also delighted to see on the playlist performances from the North Warwickshire Music centre (hosted at Etone College 6th form on Wednesdays- check their website for more details about what is on offer https://www.warwickshiremusic.org) and to see some of our students also performing with local group Aspire In Arts (more details about opportunities with them here https://aspireinarts.org).
