Annual Carol Festival 2009 - T477715996Bournemouth Schools’ Music Association is devoted to putting on a Christmas Carol Concert each year to which the youth (and not so youthful!) members of Bournemouth schools are contributing. The original committee’s aim, all that time ago, was to further music making in schools and to work together to achieve this common goal. During this year again there has been an incredible amount of hard work by a small, unpaid but loyal, team to ensure that the aim of that first committee still holds true. Committee members have organised music, meetings, rehearsals, transport and especially the important refreshments! Every school represented in the concert has invested an enormous amount of time and energy, through brilliant teachers, in preparing the children for their performance. The common goal is that, through the experience of making music together, pupils are helped on their way to becoming well rounded citizens in future years. Throughout this year the BSMA has spent money, earned from previous concerts, providing music courses for teachers and children in the Borough in order to ensure the continuation of that goal. The programme is packed full of traditional carols as well as a brand new carol by Andy Poole, a member of the committee and an ex-Bournemouth music teacher. The Carol Competition winner this year is Bernadette Bangura, who will perform her own work. The 60th anniversary choir of two years ago has remained as an ‘Anniversary Choir’ so that all the adults that have been involved in the past with the music association concerts can maintain their association and be involved in one number in the concert. | |
