Music Competition Success!

The Final of the Rotary Clubs Young Musician of the Year was held on Thursday 8th January at Bedford Modern School.
It was a great evening with some wonderful music played by some very talented young people from schools across the Borough and Central Bedfordshire.
Mark Rutherford students made up almost half the entries in the Senior Category and they all produced fantastic performances: Katie Jessop and Georgina Anstee sang two duets beautifully; Jonathan Field played two Jazz inspired pieces very stylistically on the saxophone and Lizzie Barton delivered two technically challenging flute pieces with a great tone and brilliant accuracy. All students did extremely well to make it to the final.

Lizzie was awarded 3rd place
Jonathan was awarded 2nd place

There are Junior and Intermediate rounds in the competition as well so maybe we might have even more competitors in all classes next year! Congratulations to all the students who took part at all stages in the competition and very well done to our finalists.
