With ravishing musicality and irrepressible 'joie de vivre', Shrewsbury School musicians took London by storm as maestro John Moore bade an unforgettable goodbye to the Cadogan.

Queues of eager theatre-goers waited expectantly, a-buzz at the prospect of the hottest ticket in town; others arrived in the vain hope of securing a much-coveted return...

Archie Eyre (Rb L6) paid tribute to Old Salopian Charles Darwin on the 210th anniversary of his birth (12th February 1809) with an excerpt from John Stanley's Trumpet Voluntary. 

Many congratulations to cellist Janet Li (M), who has achieved a superb result in her Trinity Guildhall Diploma. This is a significant achievement for any musician, but for a Fourth Former it is particularly remarkable.

Thanks and congratulations to all 45 pupils who took part in the Singing Competition on Sunday 25th January all for an extremely enjoyable, entertaining and impressive afternoon of music.

We are delighted to have been named as one of the top schools in the Independent School of the Year awards, receiving recognition for continued excellence in the realm of the Performing Arts.

Frank Coughlan (SH L6) won a place in the National Youth Orchestra last term and has recently performed with them in their annual Winter Tour. 

School Firsts are one of the highest honours at Shrewsbury, rewarding pupils who have demonstrated exceptional contributions to School life. They are awarded each term by a committee of Upper Sixth Formers.

"John Moore’s final St Cecilia Concerts embraced all the hallmarks we have come to expect from this golden age of Salopian music-making." - Review by Mr Fraser-Andrews.

Many congratulations to Lower Sixth Form trumpeter Frank Coughlan (SH) who, after several rounds of auditions, has won a coveted place in the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain.

Audiences in both the Alington Hall and - via a live stream - in front of their own screens across the world enjoyed a wonderful evening of music and entertainment at the annual House Singing Competition.

Many congratulations to Rosa Li (M), who has passed her violin Diploma with a distinction. This is a significant achievement for any musician, but for a Fourth Former it is particularly remarkable.
