Music School: Graduation Recital last night a big success
The annual City of Edinburgh Music School Graduation Recital was a tremendous success this year.
Says Tudor Morris, the 3 senior students leaving us put together a varied programme that included traditional fiddle, classical violin, classical piano, own compositions, jazz and even a prog rock item.
The finale was a hilarious piano piece for 6 hands on 2 pianos that was arranged and choreographed by the students with precision and aplomb.
All three plan to further their musical studies next year: Eilidh Crawford is going to the Royal Welsh College of Music, Cameron Watt to Salford University, and Jack Westwell to Edinburgh University. We wish them well and thank them for a great evening’s entertainment.
