Eighteen pupils representing every year group from Years 8-13 entertained an appreciative audience at this year’s Bolton School Boys’ Division Musical Evening.
Head of Instrumental Studies Mr Forgrieve said: ‘It was fantastic to once again be able to enjoy live music performed to an audience actually present in the venue, rather than via pre-recorded videos shared online, as was necessary in recent times due to Covid restrictions. I was delighted to introduce solo items on cello (Adam Faulkner), violin (Mark Liu, Nathan Pierson), flute (Neeraj Singh), piano (Jayden Luhar, Amrit Mishra, Arsh Patankar), organ (Laurence Britton, William Martin, William Miles), guitar (Jacob Hughes), electric guitar (Yash Anand, James Wilson), tenor horn (William Earnshaw), trumpet (Arun Patel), xylophone (Nishan Sharma) and singing (Ethan Caswell, Anuj Mishra).
‘The concert began with three organ solos performed on the Girls’ Division Great Hall organ due to a malfunction in the Boys' Division organ, and then the performers and audience moved to Boys' Division Great Hall for the remaining items. Thank you to all of our soloists, audience members and staff - Miss Archer, Mr Lovatt, Miss Sherry and Mrs Whitmore - who made this pleasant event such a success, with particular thanks to Ms Lien for accompanying on piano.’
