Alumni Musicians: Southwark Cathedral Orchestral and Choral Concert

The Southwark Cathedral Orchestral and Choral Concert takes place on Wednesday, 29 April.

This year's programme celebrates the 50th anniversary of Alleyn's becoming a co-educational school, and we can think of no more fitting tribute than the fourth movement of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. The finale, with its stirring Ode to Joy, stands as one of music's greatest testaments to the power of unity and shared humanity; a work that brings together voices and instruments in a vision of harmony that transcends division. Just as this anniversary marks 50 years of our community learning, creating and thriving together at Alleyn's, so Beethoven's masterpiece reminds us that our greatest achievements come when diverse voices unite in common purpose.

To mark this milestone, we are opening places in both our orchestra and choir to alumni, creating a musical collaboration across generations. There will be rehearsals on Sunday, 26 April at Alleyn’s and on the day of the concert in Southwark Cathedral in the afternoon.
