Young Leaders
2020 was the third year of running the Young Leaders Programme, involving a total of 20 students from CLSG and the City of London Academies (Shoreditch Park, Highgate Hill and Highbury Grove). The students worked with the Voces8 Foundation, learning to lead warm-ups and to teach songs to primary school children. They spent a day at Galleywall Primary School leading workshops with classes from Reception to Year 3 and interacting with the children with confidence, enthusiasm and great positivity.

Annual Joint Concert with City of
London Freemen’s School
As well as proudly participating in the annual City Schools Concert in January, St James’s Church Piccadilly was the venue for our annual Joint Chamber music concert in March 2020, when 27 of our talented instrumentalists from Years 7-13 joined players from the City of London Freemen’s School. Players performed a challenging programme, including Haydn’s Gypsy Rondo and Mendelssohn’s Octet, with outstanding musicianship and professionalism. The two schools joined forces for an impressive Brass Ensemble, an elegant eight-piece cello ensemble, and an exhilarating finale from the joint string ensemble playing Holst, Fauré, and McLean.
