Will returned to Durham School on Friday 9 October to lead a music workshop for pupils as preparations continue for our Chapel Centenary Service on 24 October. An experimental jazz improvisation exercise encouraged pupils to explore new musical ideas and enjoy making music together. Full of fun and discovery, the session was a chance to try something different with an OD whose music will be at the heart of our centenary celebrations. 

 At the service, Will will conduct the world premiere of his setting of Before Action, the poem by fellow OD Noel Hodgson, connecting generations of Dunelmians through words and music. Join us in the Memorial Chapel on Saturday 24 October at 5.15 pm. ODs, parents, pupils and guests are warmly welcome.
