Academy students perform at carol concert in church

Posted onPosted on 19th Dec

Students at Magnus Church of England Academy performed their Christmas Carol concert at St Mary Magdalene Church, Newark — welcoming around 200 visitors to the event.

Jackie Thacker, leader of youth and community music at Magnus, who organised the concert, said: “It was a delightful evening of music and worship, shared within the walls of our beautiful parish church.

“It certainly filled everyone’s hearts with a little festive cheer. I am so proud of all our talented students who took part, they are an absolute credit to Magnus.”

During the service students read prayers, a poem, and sang traditional carols such as Silent Night, O Come All Ye Faithful, and Joy To The World, alongside a more contemporary piece, It’s A Magical Time.

Anna Martin, academy principal, added: “This year’s carol service is particularly special as it revives a tradition of our event being held in St Mary Magdalene Church.”

Mila Bolanos-Martin said: “The carol concert was really good and I enjoyed it. It was a great experience for us to have.

“I wasn’t nervous, just excited, because we had been rehearsing for a while. Some people have a fear of singing or speaking in front of a crowd like that, but, once we started, everyone got over it and had fun!”
