Talented Musicians
The choirs and orchestras perform regularly throughout the year at services, concerts, informal community recitals and as part of large-scale drama productions, most of which are joint productions between senior girls and boys. The musical groups include junior and senior orchestras, various ensembles and the popular ‘Big Band’.
The annual week-long music festival is the highlight of the year providing the pupils with the opportunity to take part in workshops, performances and showcases.
Berkhamsted Girls’ most talented musicians are also given the chance to compete for the title of Young Berkhamsted Musician of the Year.
Ambitious go-getters who are always looking for ways to make themselves stand out from the crowd, and want to get the absolute utmost from the education and opportunities available to them.
Strong research skills are evident in many examples of project work, and older pupils, in particular, show excellent ability to assimilate and analyse a wide range of sources.

Day 3 Round Up. The morning began with a trip to the Salt Mines in Hallein, which involved sliding between caverns. Then we went to the Hellbrunn Palace, visiting the pavilion from the Sound of Music and the Wasserspiele (a.k.a. Tricky fountain). We then finished off with rehearsals back at the hotel. Guten Nacht!
