Cheltenham College Festival of Music

An evening of outstanding performances celebrated the exceptional musical talent of Cheltenham College pupils.

The Cheltenham College Festival of Music was a wonderful celebration of the exceptional talent and dedication of our pupils. Held on a beautiful summer evening, the Festival welcomed families, friends, staff and the wider College community for an unforgettable showcase of music.

The programme featured an impressive variety of performances, from orchestral favourites and jazz classics to rock, pop and contemporary music. Pupils from the Concert Orchestra, Swing Band, Big Band, alongside a range of ensembles and soloists, performed with confidence, energy and outstanding musicianship throughout the evening.

Thank you to everyone who came along to support our pupils. Your encouragement helped create a fantastic atmosphere and made the Festival a fitting celebration of another exceptional year of music at Cheltenham College.
