Yesterday, Cokethorpe’s annual Musician of the Year Competition brought together an inspiring array of performances from pupils across the School.
The standard was exceptionally high in both the Lower and Higher Grade categories, with pupils demonstrating impressive technical skill, musical sensitivity, and confident stage presence. We were delighted to welcome Miss Eleanor Wilson, Assistant Director of Music at Kimbolton School, as our adjudicator for the competition. Her thoughtful and encouraging feedback was greatly appreciated by all performers.
