Year 10 Musicians Perform at the Barbican
As part of the annual Barbican Box music project, our year 10 GCSE music students were given the opportunity to perform on the main stage of the Barbican!
A small group of schools take part in the event to present music made in collaboration, this year, with audio software pioneers Native Instruments, inspired by their 2019 season, Life Rewired.
This was the third year that our music students have taken part in the Barbican Box project and it was another wonderful performance from some very talented students. It also highlights the fantastic benefits and advantages available to students living in London.

Big Day Out Six students from Arts and Media School performed at the Big Day Out in Whittington Park. Brandon 11A, Meriam 11C and our very own music technician, Fussi Andersen, performed a group piece, Nirvana’s “Smells like team spirit”. Max from 11D performed two of his own piano compositions. Shanice 8A and Karina 8E performed a dance composition which they had created in collaboration with one another. Ex AMSI student Charlie Raphael-Campbell made another return to the Big Day and played several compositions alongside the current AMSI students.
Both our past and present students got the crowd buzzing with more and more people entering the performance space as they heard our students playing, singing and dancing. They performed excellently and positively represented the school.
