Barbican Visit

Year 5 visited the Barbican recently to see the London Symphony Orchestra perform and to learn about George Gershwin's journey to becoming an orchestral composer. Already hugely successful, George was turned away by his heroes who did not want to tamper with his unique talents. The message of the concert was to believe in your own genius. In our own journey before the concert we explored the composers admired by Gershwin and his own works. The children were also thrilled to see some of their artwork displayed behind the orchestra. We all enjoyed the performance. Carter enthused that listening to the music was like going on an adventure in his own mind!
