​No matter the circumstances, the show must go on

Our students Eleonora Savvidou and Ara Mahdessian surprised their music teachers with a very moving virtual performance of the music they were not able to perform live during this year’s Arts Week.

“Recorded between lockdowns, with great pleasure and enjoyment, a performance of two pieces. With a special dedication to our music teachers, this is a way for us to communicate with music what words alone cannot express.    

                                                                                                            
The first piece, ‘Élégie’ (1880) by Gabriel Fauré, is described as a piece of gentle, understated beauty of huge emotional depth. The second is ‘Song from a Secret Garden’ by Rolf Løvland (1995) who wrote that ‘Somewhere within us all there is a Secret Garden. A garden in which we can seek refuge when times are rough, or retire to in joy or in contemplation’ For us that special place is Music”.
