Our graduating pupils 2023

The start of July saw our week-long celebration of music at our annual Summer Festival. As part of this Festival each year, we celebrate our leavers who are moving on from YMS to continue their education all over the world. These concerts allow our graduating pupils to share as many of their favourite pieces as possible, followed by the presentation of their chosen scores to each of them.

We are always sad to see pupils leave YMS, but these concerts are always a lovely way to hear them perform together before they head off on new adventures and this year was no exception!
