Star Wars and other performances by The London Symphony Orchestra at The Barbican, London

We believe in providing exciting opportunities for our pupils.  We believe experiences like visiting The Barbican Centre to listen to a full-piece orchestra adds another exciting element to the curriculum at Broadford.

And this was no different!

The concert began with a stunning rendition of the piece of music called 'Bolero'.  "I found it hypnotising and couldn't stop staring at the flutists!" Nathanial Ramus 


After finding out a little about crescendos, instruments and the jobs of the different parts of the orchestra, we were treated to a full-piece orchestra performance of Star Wars theme music and what a treat it was!

"I didn't realise how many instruments it took to create the theme tune.  I thought it could only be done on a computer.  It was epic!" Natalie Towner

100% of Y5 pupils have now experienced a orchestral performance.
