Concerts
Every year, the school holds a regular program of concerts, often attracting world-renowned musicians to perform with the students.Students organise House Concerts where the houses (Bach, Beethoven and Brahms) compete to win the award of best performance for the evening. Each house is allocated approximately 45 minutes organised by house captains and the vice captains without assistance of teaching staff. The three other main concerts each year, apart from the House Concerts, are Open Day Concerts, the Annual Concerts and Orientation Day.

Famous quotes containing the word concerts:
“The concerts you enjoy together
Neighbors you annoy together
Children you destroy together
That make marriage a joy”
—Stephen Sondheim (b. 1930)
“If you love music, hear it; go to operas, concerts and pay fiddlers to play to you; but I insist on your neither piping nor fiddling yourself. It puts a gentleman in a very frivolous, contemptible light.... Few things would mortify me more than to see you bearing a part in a concert, with a fiddle under your chin, or a pipe in your mouth.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
