Berkhamsted School's annual Spring Concert was held in Centenary Hall, with students from Year 7 to Year 13 presenting a programme of musical items that ensured there was something for everyone to enjoy.
Talented Year 13 pianist Joe Tang played the first movement from Beethoven's Piano Concerto No.1 supported by the school's Senior Orchestra, and the newly-formed Barbershop Boys made their debut at the concert, performing Londonderry Air with Matt Johnston as soloist.
Strictly Come Dancing musical director, David Arch, and his son Tom, now in Year 13, treated an appreciative audience to a duet on piano and guitar, while Big Band showcased some of their favourite numbers including Stormy Weather sung by Imogen Nation and It's only a Paper Moon with Sid Sagar.
