Public musical performances have been a long tradition at Heart of England School; from our more formal concerts with a mix of classical and contemporary performances to full blown musicals like The Sound of Music.

Particular highlights of the last few years have included our Diamond Jubilee Festival, live Armistice radio broadcast on our school radio and participation in the OSoSic orchestra events with performances at Symphony Hall, Warwick Arts Centre’s Butterworth Hall and at the Birmingham Conservatoire.
“Now, we’re trying a new format for performance called Open Mic Night. It’s a chance for any students to come along and perform. They can be soloists or duets, bands or ensembles – whatever combination they want!” said Mrs Henton. “It’s on the 11 April and starts at 7pm. It’ll be exciting so come along and see what a lot of talent we have at Heart of England.”
