Two messages from Vienna

By -
I attended the concert given by students from Beaumont School at the Haus der Musik, Vienna, yesterday, and I am writing to say how much I enjoyed the performance. I was very impressed by the standard of the playing, and by the musicians' behaviour and demeanour.
You and the staff at Beaumont School must be very proud of your students. They are excellent ambassadors for their school, and for British schools in general!
(Ms Sian Stickings, British Embassy, Vienna)

I just wanted to say that you really can be proud of the kids, I never had a group where the children were as punctual and happy and friendly. I really enjoyed it.
(Daniela Loidl, Club Europe Tour Representative)

Lucky you!
Every day this month, open a door to our Advent Calendar and listen to a track chosen by Mr Guinane, Ms Doan or Mr Burrett. Most tracks will be seasonal (how about a whistle stop tour through  our carols over the years?!) but we might even slip in music that we simply just love.

Wishing you a wonderful lead up to Christmas.
Mr G, Ms D and Mr B.
