Badminton would not be the same without music. Everyone is encouraged to contribute to music in School from the beginner to the most accomplished. We regularly enjoy performances by girls in assemblies, informal recitals and concerts. A major concert takes place each term, with the highlight being the pre-Christmas concert at Bristol’s foremost venue – St. George’s Bristol. A high proportion of girls study at least one musical instrument and there is a wide variety of choral and ensemble groups in School. These include choirs, orchestras, string ensembles, woodwinds and other groups which reflect girls’ talents and interests which range from classical to jazz and musical theatre. As we have over 30 visiting music teachers in School each week, girls can study a wide range of instruments. Master classes are arranged in School and pupils from other local Schools are welcomed. Girls regularly attend concerts, locally and nationally, to experience a variety of music. The Music Department also organises regular overseas tours. In recent years Badminton girls have performed choral and instrumental works in Budapest, Bruges, Barcelona, Florence, Leipzig and Berlin. Many girls enjoy participating in music competitions out of School as well as in our own Music Festival. Some have won accolades in national and international competitions and others belong to the National Youth Orchestra. Girls are encouraged to join in a variety of music activities in Bristol including music societies, local orchestras, competitions and festivals. Sixth Form pupils have a plethora of opportunities for getting involved in music. These include the Schola Cantorum and Badminton Choir, numerous orchestras and ensembles as well as music theory classes.
