Medley of Musicals

With the usual nativities, Christmas shows and carol services cancelled this year due to COVID-19 restrictions, Christ College ensured that pupils did not miss out on taking part in a school production, and gave loved ones a special performance they could watch together again and again.

Each senior house bubble from Year 11 to Upper Sixth rehearsed and performed selected songs from musicals which were edited into a one hour musical medley ensemble and streamed to the school community via its virtual event platform during the last week of term.

Director of Performing Arts at Christ College, Lucy Richards, said: “We felt it was very important that the Christmas show must go on! We are conscious that pupils have missed out on so much this year and wanted to ensure they could come together – even if only in their bubbles – to rehearse, sing, play, perform and enjoy everything that comes with preparing for a school production. Although they won’t get to experience the live performance, we do hope that watching alongside their families will instil a sense of pride and end the year on a high. We’d like to thank COBRA Music Studios for their amazing work in making these magical productions a reality.”

Set within the Brecon Beacons National Park, Christ College is an independent co-educational boarding and day school, with 350 pupils on roll between the ages of seven to 18. For more information visit www.christcollegebrecon.com.
