Music

We have a thriving Music Department in Grosvenor within which there are a variety of rich and rewarding opportunities for pupils to develop, excel and showcase their amazing talents. Over the course of each year, pupils have the chance to hone their skills in our state of-the-art Music Department through enjoyable and engaging weekly rehearsals. The Grosvenor Singers (All Year Groups) maintain the esteemed Grosvenor choral tradition of taking the lead in the Nine Lessons and Carols at St Anne’s Cathedral. The Singers are in demand to sing at prestigious events such as the Open Nights and Spring Concert. In addition to singing at the Carol Service at St Anne’s Cathedral, the Chamber Choir were finalist for the BBC Songs of Praise Choir of the Year 2019, BBC Radio Ulster School Choir of the Year 2019 and winners of the competition in 2015. Members of this group are often selected for the prestigious National Youth Choir of Northern Ireland.

The Orchestra is for string, woodwind, brass and percussion players in Years 8-14, with the minimum standard of entry at approximately Grade 3+ level. These enthusiastic young musicians attend a rehearsal after school every week. Members of this group are often selected for the Ulster Youth Orchestra and the Ulster Youth Jazz Orchestra. Pupils can enjoy a plethora of other groups and rehearsals such as the String Ensemble, Jazz Band, String Quartet, Brass Ensemble, Woodwind Ensemble, Flute Group and Guitar Club to name some examples. The Music Department is proud of the strong musical tradition in Grosvenor and is a hive of activity throughout the week, with high numbers participating in various disciplines. It has a reputation for sustained excellence and gives many pupils a deeply fulfilling school experience beyond the classroom.
