A night at the Pangbourne Proms

On Friday 20 June, we celebrated our first but certainly not last, Pangbourne Proms event. This was a fantastic evening of music from musicians spanning all year groups as well as OP musicians.

Musicans from all year groups across the College were joined by OP musicians Lucy Perring and Peter Garnier who re-joined the marching band for the evening alongside some of Lucy's colleagues from the Band of the Household Cavalry . The programme included voice, violin, piano and drums solos as well as performances from both the College and Dunbar choirs.

Guests arrived prepped with their picnic set up and relaxed in the gorgeous weather whilst our performers put on a fantastic show .

In addition to enjoying the fantastic entertainment we welcomed the exciting announcement of our brand new initiative, Transforming Futures,  Pangbourne’s campaign to provide life-changing Sixth Form boarding bursaries for children from underserved communities and those with experience of the care system in West Berkshire.

Old Pangbournian and former Headmaster of Rugby and Westminster, Patrick Derham, shared how his life was transformed by a bursary at Pangbourne, leading him to set up the The Arnold Foundation at Rugby, and his pride in Chairing this new initiative.

The evening was a great success and will return next year even bigger and better, be sure to check the newsletter for further details in the Lent Term.
