Music students to perform at Emmanuel Church

BANDS and music groups from a girls' school are putting on a concert at a church.

Students from St Helen's School, in Eastbury Road, Northwood, will perform at Emmanuel Church, in High Street, Northwood, on July 2 at 7pm.

A number of groups, including the jazz and concert bands, the saxophone quartet, flute groups, the wind band and the St Helen's Singers will all be performing in the concert.

Robert Crowley, director of music at the school, said: "We have a lively and thriving music department at St Helen's and this is a great opportunity to come along and hear some excellent, varied performances. The girls are rehearsing hard in preparation for the concert and are looking forward to the evening.

"This is just one of a series of concerts outside school that we are organising, giving the girls the opportunity to perform in front of a wider audience. Our next performances will be in October when we will be touring Holland, playing in a number of venues in the country."

The audience will be treated to a variety of styles of music at the concert on July 2 and all are welcome to attend.

Entry is free with a retirement collection in aid of Montgomery Heights Orphanage in Zimbabwe.
