As in previous years, the choirs of HMSG and Monmouth School will join forces with HMSG Year 7 and Monmouth School Form I to perform a major choral work.
The concert will begin with the Haberdashers’ Monmouth Schools Symphony Orchestra (HMSSO) and Symphonic Winds. HMSSO will perform Kodály’s Intermezzo from his Háry János ballet suite, Elgar’s Nimrod from his Enigma Variations, and the Suite from Aaron Copland’s Rodeo.
The second half of the concert will consist of HMSG Chamber Choir, Concert Choir and Year 7, together with Monmouth School Form I and Choral Society performing Poulenc’s Gloria. The choirs will be accompanied by a professional orchestra and Hélène Le Corre, internationally renowned French soprano, will sing the solos.

Review of Wyastone Concert 2015
In 2015 nearly 200 musicians from Monmouth School and Haberdashers’ Monmouth School for Girls gathered at the Wyastone Concert Hall on 24th March 2015 for what proved to be an evening of exceptional music-making.
Monmouth School Jazz Orchestra entertained the Headmaster’s guests to Jazz in the ballroom of Wyastone House before guests made their way to the concert hall for the programme of works by Mozart and Tchaikovsky.
Haberdashers’ Monmouth Senior Strings opened with Mozart’s Divertimento in B flat, played by the 35-strong orchestra directed by Mrs Ruth Friend of HMSG.
