Soirée Wintereisse

The program for next week’s Music soiree is now being finalised, students who have not suppled the relevant information by the end of this week will unfortunately be removed from the program.

 A reminder that students requiring microphones and backing tracks will need to attend a tech rehearsal on Monday, 19th June at lunchtime in the Recital Room.
