The Redhill School Chamber Ensemble recently shined bright at the South African School Bands National Competition.

Not only did the local band win the competition but they were named the best high school ensemble in South Africa.

According to the head of music Dr Angie Mullins, the ensemble, which consists of 11 top learners, gave a phenomenal performance that not only impressed the audience but also the judges.

“The learners, who are currently in grades 9, 10, and 11, presented a programme of chamber music by Schostakovich, Saint-Saens and Williams in the ensemble category of the South African School Bands Association’s National Championships.

“The judges were impressed by the complexity of the music the students performed and praised their highly developed technique and musicality.”

She added this achievement was a significant win for the entirety of the school.

“Redhill School is proud to offer the most comprehensive music programme in the country, every learner from grades 2 to 9 receives fee tuition on an orchestral instrument during the school day.

“While we are incredibly proud that this programme produces nationally renowned young performers, like those who won the SASBA competition, we are equally excited by the cognitive benefits that the Redhill music programme offers to all of our students,” said Mullins.
