On Tuesday 23 May, members of the Rebetiko Carnival band visited Queenswood to deliver a workshop and concert celebrating the musical culture of Greece and Middle Eastern countries, with specific emphasis on Palestine and Israel. 

Earlier in the day, during a delicious themed lunch prepared expertly by our catering team Mr Kokkinos had treated the girls to a serenade of Greek folk music. The workshop was targeted at our Year 10 GCSE Music students, who as part of their syllabus study musical styles and genres from across the world and learn to appreciate the diverse qualities of ethnic music.
