Posted on 5th Sep 2019 in School News, Performing Arts
Heath Mount School in Hertfordshire is delighted to announce that its Bax Choir has been named Junior Choir of The World at the prestigious Llangollen Eisteddfod 2019.
This internationally-renowned singing competition attracts competitors and performers from around the globe and the choir were up against some highly talented choirs from the USA, Canada, Poland, China and Cymru to mention a few.
Led by Cassandra White, who was also awarded the Conductor’s prize for Most Outstanding Conductor, the Bax choir performed a technically-challenging programme of songs that also saw them win the Junior Choir Folk Song Competition. They won over the judging panel with their beautiful renditions of traditional songs Scarborough Fair and This Old Man. The choir, made up of 43 girls and boys aged 9-13, also performed a haunting Finnish lullaby and A La Cart by Judith Watson, a humorous and delightful song about a little-known incident from Mozart’s childhood! Cassandra will accept the awards at a ceremony in Llangollen on Saturday evening.
