Double success in the Pro Corda Chamber Music Festival

Sherborne Girls music students are celebrating after two ensembles made it through to the semi-finals of the Pro Corda Chamber Music Festival.

This national competition provides an opportunity for chamber groups of all instruments, shapes and sizes throughout the country to engage in a vibrant annual celebratory festival of talent.

Both the Chamber Group (Charlotte, Kelly, Daisy, Amelia and Eva) and the Cantilena Wind Trio (Isobel, Daisy and Kelly) are now looking forward to participating in the semi-finals which will take place at Godolphin School on Monday 5 March.

The Pro Corda remains the only festival in the UK dedicated to celebrating exclusively chamber music performance in schools up and down the country and offers the ideal platform for school-based ensembles to work with international chamber musicians and coaches.

Mr John Jenkins, Director of Music at Sherborne Girls, added:  “This is an excellent opportunity for the girls who are eagerly practising ahead of the next round.  We wish them all good luck and would love to see them reach the finals which take place in Cambridge in March.”
