Queenswood Music CD Release: ‘The Angel Sessions’
Wednesday 3 May 2017
We are delighted to announce that the CD recorded by Queenswood musicians at Angel Studios earlier this year is now available.
The quality of the recording has surpassed our expectation, and Mr Jonathan Dobson (Director of Music) is immensely proud of the versatility, creativity and musicianship captured on disc. A full-colour brochure inside the main cover of the CD offers details of the repertoire, along with some of the performers’ reflections on music at Queenswood.
Copies of the CD, which is already garnering great praise, will be distributed to all families at Speech Day. If you would like to acquire a copy in advance, please contact [email protected].
In the meantime, we hope you enjoy this brief montage of footage taken during the recording sessions.
