The lower school Spring Music Concert on May 5 brought parents and family members together to hear the results of many hours of practice by their children and siblings!

The show featured the talents of the Bucknall Choir (directed by Kellie Binney-Smart and Carena Montany), the Lower School Jazz Ensemble (directed by Louis Hoffman), the First Year String Group (directed by Natachia Li and Pierre Dazin), the Lower School Orchestra (directed by Hoffman), the Guitar Group (directed by Christopher Motter and Owen Stewart-Robertson), the Lower School String Ensemble (directed by Toni Woodruff) and the Preparatory String Ensemble (directed by Woodruff).

The students performed a wide variety of pieces, ranging from John Williams’ theme from “Star Wars” to selections from jazz greats Sonny Rollins and John Coltrane to traditional American folk tunes such as “Land of the Silver Birch” and “The Water is Wide.”
