Woodbridge School Guitar Recital – Mar 2026

What a wonderful afternoon of music and talent we had at the Guitar Recital in the School Hall on Thursday 12 March! Thank you to everyone who came, and of course to our students, who performed brilliantly. Our Director of Music, Jonathan Woodley, shares his report from the evening.

The concert featured an incredibly varied program that showcased our students’ skill across both classical and contemporary styles; our audience treated to impressive classical performances, including Year 11’s James playing Carcassi, Year 10’s Grace performing Molinaro, and Year 8’s Bella playing Molino.

This was beautifully contrasted by modern hits, with Year 10’s Evie performing McCartney’s Blackbird, Year 7’s Fletcher playing Passenger, and Year 7’s Stuart taking on Nirvana.

Other highlights included Year 7’s Sam’s performance of Legend, Year 9’s Isaac’s rendition of Steely Blue, and a brilliant performance of Gary Moore’s Parisienne Walkways by Year 12’s Matt.

The event reached a fantastic finale with our Guitar Ensemble performing Recuerdos Del Camino, a piece written by our very own guitar teacher, Mr Plackett.

A huge well done to all our talented young musicians for such a delightful afternoon of music!
