Summer School: Der Freischütz in a week!
A wonderful week was enjoyed by 48 children from Senior Choir (aged between 10 and 18) who attended our Summer School in August, held in Stowe school. This year’s chosen work was Der Freischütz by Carl Maria von Weber, and between arrival on Sunday and the brilliant performance on Saturday, the children learnt the music – some singing solo, some semi-chorus – as well as built sets and props.
