The experiences which the children are given at Castlethorpe First School are really very special! On Friday, we were visited by Toscana Strings a multi-award winning string quintet https://www.toscanastrings.co.uk/. They provide schools with opportunities to listen to a professional orchestra. What is even more special is that they intertwine the music around different stories as well as from classical music. The children were given a workshop on the Nutcracker by Tchaikovsky. In addition to the music, there was also a professional ballerina to accompany the orchestra. The children were captivated and mesmerised throughout the whole performance, you could have heard a pin drop! They were even given an impromptu ballet lesson at the end, which they thoroughly enjoyed. A very special day, organised by Danielle Kipling the VSF music lead from Newton Blossomville.
