Doha: Three musicians from Compass International School Doha have been selected to perform in Nord Anglia Education’s inaugural Global Orchestra in New York.
Nord Anglia Education, the world’s leading premium international schools organisation, offered the opportunity for talented musicians and singers from their family of schools to be part of its first ever Global Orchestra. Over 23,000 students across 31 Nord Anglia Schools, in 13 countries were invited to audition in March this year for the chance to be selected for the Global Orchestra summer school and perform in New York from 24th June — 1st July 2015. A global judging panel selected up to three young musicians and singers from each school to create a truly international collective. The judging panel eventually decided on 80 talented individuals comprising of 46 instrumentalists and 34 singers.
The students attending from Compass International School are Jessica Butterworth playing violin, Amanda Sim and Mira Grolus who will be singing in the choir.
“This is a wonderful opportunity for Jessica, Amanda and Mira. We are very proud of their achievement in gaining place on the first Global Orchestra Music Tour, we wish them well in New York this summer,” the Principal Dr Terry Creissen said.
During the trip, students will participate in workshops and practice sessions guided by experts. The Peninsula
