Recital programme for this Saturday's Grand Organ Recital at Royal Hospital School.
RCO Study Day and Organ Recital

We are pleased to be working closely with Stoke College Suffolk to support families during this period of change. Together, we are helping pupils and parents navigate the transition with confidence, whilst providing access to the broad range of academic, pastoral and co-curricular opportunities available at RHS.

The Stoke College and RHS Partnership Programme has been designed to provide practical and financial support, including the RHS Transition Award, which honours current Stoke College fee levels, alongside a streamlined and supportive admissions process.

We warmly invite families to join us at our upcoming Insight Event on Thursday 11 June at 5.45pm, where they will have the opportunity to meet key colleagues, explore the school and learn more about how we can support their child's next steps. Individual visits are also available, and we encourage families to get in touch at their earliest convenience so that we can provide timely, tailored guidance and support.

A musical evening not to be missed! For our next performance, we return to the Royal Hospital School in Holbrook, this time performing in the larger surroundings of the Greenwich Hall. Exciting young conductor, Dexter Drown, will direct the concert which opens with Sibelius' rousing tone poem, Finlandia 🌊, and the fun-packed Danzón No 2 by Márquez 💃 - but the highlight of the first half will surely be Benjamin Britten's Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra 🎻🎺📯🥁 . Originally written to accompany a documentary introducing young people to the instruments of the orchestra, it is fitting that on the 80th anniversary of it's first performance in 1946 and on the 50th anniversary of Britten's death in 1976, Wolsey Orchestra will present this work by Suffolk's most famous composer in the stunning Royal Hospital School. Our concert will end with Sibelius' stunningly beautiful Symphony No 1 in E minor - a work with an undeniably Nordic flavour, rich colours, and inventive instrumental textures.
