The evening saw an inspired repertoire that was complemented by a stunning array of performances by pupils and professionals alike. It centred on Orchestra of the Swan (OOTS), the Stratford-based chamber orchestra and featured the internationally-acclaimed baritone Roderick Williams

 

Under the auspices of artistic director and conductor David Curtis, OOTS provided a splendid musical backdrop from which the talented pupils of the Warwick Independent Schools Foundation shone brightly forth. Warwick School students, Archie Whitby and Sam Young were the stars oif the show.
