October 21st, 2008 Posted in EVENTS

Anne and her fellow musicians.It’s really good to see young people so enthusiastic about helping people less fortunate for themselves. One of the latest initiatives of GSAL pupils is a concert in aid of the Sichuan Earthquake Appeal. Originally conceived by Sixth Form student Xue Yin Yang (Ann), the concert will take place as follows:

7.30pm
Wednesday 19 November 2008
The Tebb Room, Music Suite, The Grammar School at Leeds, Alwoodley Gates LS17.

There is no ticket charge - instead, students ask that you please leave an appropriate donation as you leave.

Ann / Xue Yin, a talented pianist, is Chinese and joined GSAL at Sixth Form level to study for her A Levels. She lives in Leeds during term time but returns to her family in China during the school holidays and is really keep to help rebuild the area devastated by the earthquake in her home country.

The evening will comprise an eclectic mix of music including classical, film and some traditional Chinese pieces and is an exciting opportunity to hear some of the school’s talented Upper Sixth musicians: Xue Yin Yang (Ann), Will Solyom and Sina Ghadiri on piano; Esther Longworth on oboe / soprano; and Dominic Oldfield on cello / bass baritone.
