Lunchtime Concert Series
During April and May 2010, The Blue Coat School Musical Society presented a series of lunchtime concerts in the beautiful Chapel. Our A Level Music Students, together with Professor Ian Tracey, Jonathan Aaasgard and Ian Buckle entertained and wowed the local community with their excellent performances. The series consisted of 5 concerts held every Thursday during the lunchtime period for five weeks and was a resounding success. Occasions were pleased to offer the Blundell Suite for refreshments after the concerts.
The next series of concerts will take place in February 2011, details of which will be posted on our website and also the school website nearer the time.
