Bridgnorth Endowed students enjoyed a Christmas Concert with a difference this year, as the surge in Covid cases meant that parents and other visitors were sadly unable to attend the popular annual event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, those involved in the concert made their way to St Mary\u2019s Church on Tuesday morning and performed in front of a camera to capture the pieces they had prepared and share some festive joy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The packed programme included carols, drama pieces, readings, musical instrument performances and a beautiful piano solo from Bridgnorth Endowed\u2019s piano teacher, Oliver Clarke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Reverend Prebendary Simon Cawdell delivered the opening address with a special focus on coming together to celebrate Christmas and, for a moment, putting aside the troubles and the difficulties we\u2019ve been facing in recent times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miss Edwards, from the Creative Arts Department, said: \u201cAlthough it was a strange experience for the students to perform without an audience, they thoroughly enjoyed the morning and soaked up the lovely Christmas atmosphere in church.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019d like to thank Reverend Cawdell and our wonderful extra-curricular piano teacher, Oliver Clarke, for taking part in the event and helping to make it special for us all.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
