Well done to all HMS and QEHS students who performed in the Hexham Abbey Singing Project, which was part of the Hexham Abbey Festival of Arts and Music. Both schools performed a piece each and were then part of a large choir of 200 young people, made up of students from schools across Hexham and Corbridge.
Together, they performed a piece called ‘1350’ (a world premiere in fact!) which was written by local composer and teacher Fiona Lander. It told the story of the Abbey and its early history. All students were exemplary in their conduct.
Many thanks also to Kathyrn Rowell and Neil Harbron who attended and supported the event, and not forgetting HMS’ very own Mr Holdsworth who returned to accompany the HMS choir in their piece and was of course adored by his fans all day!
