MTGS Music Competition

On Tuesday, 22 March the Merchant Taylors’ Girls’ School hosted its 2016 annual Music Competition in front of a full and appreciative audience.   Four weeks ago thirty five girls participated in the preliminary auditions from which the final nineteen musicians were chosen. Dr Alberto Sanna – professional violinist, musicologist and music lecturer at Liverpool Hope University was the guest adjudicator. Dr Sanna in his closing remarks commended the girls on their preparation and musicianship, and even went as far to say that some of the performances would surpass the standard of some undergraduates such was the quality!

The winner of the Middle School was Rachel Burnett [saxophone], and the Senior School competition was won by Chloe Jones [flute].
