Peter Donohoe at the masterclass at JAM.
On 18th October following a series of outreach events in schools supported by Citibank reaching over 540 children at schools from Plat Douet to Springfield, we were delighted to take part in partnership with Jersey College for Girls and the Jersey Academy of Music a masterclass with international soloist Peter Donohoe which featured 3 talented Jersey students.
Outreach taken by Julius Bannister at St Luke’s school supported by Citibank.
Following the outreach work, the Jersey Chamber Orchestra performed a concert of some of Mozart’s best loved works at the Jersey Opera House on 19th October with over £1000 raised for Durrell under the direction of acclaimed conductor Eamonn Dougan and supported by Aberdeen Standard Capital.
Legendary pianist Peter Donohoe performed Mozart’s Piano Concert No. 20 showing some beautiful phrasing as well as the ability to sing alongside the orchestra. Local opera singer Maj Donoghue and Georgie-Mae Bishop sang a selection of arias from the opera The Marriage of Figaro and Cosi Fan Tutte. The second half finished with a performance of Mozart’s Symphony No.31, the ‘Paris’, written when the musical genius was only 22 years old.
