On Monday, Class 2 went to the Cadogan Hall to take part in Zambezi Tales with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. We found out about the instruments of the orchestra, listened to wonderful story-telling and joined in with the songs. It was an amazing experience!
Please read these letters written by members of Class 2 about the trip.
Dear Alster and Ava,
We were in our class room then it was time to go. When we were under ground we got on eight escalators and two trains. We were there at last. It was so big! Hilary the director told us some stuff. The lights went off everything went quiet and it was the first song. Have you ever been to a concert where you could sing? Our first song was In the Jungle. In the orchestra there was a harp,violins, cellos and a French horn. The harp was peaceful. It is made of gold! My favourite part was when the first song went on. How loud it was! We had a picture.

Dear Clem,
When we arrived at the beautiful Cadogan Hall I was super excited. When we went in Hilary was there waiting for us. He introduced the small violins, booming African drums, tiny piccolo and loads more. Then the shining lights went down it had began! The drums were banging, cello was playing the violins were dancing and the strings of the harp so peaceful like angels. Then it stopped we could see the back of Hilary’s jacket. Have you played in a concert? The narrators came on stage. They told beautiful stories. We sang songs. How amazing it was to sing with a philharmonic orchestra! My favourite bit was singing Under the Baobab Tree.
Love from Elliot
