Hosting a rehearsal of this scale was a real privilege for EHS with over 250 musicians, artists, staff and crew from the CBSO and CBSO Chorus including our own EHS girls amongst the singers. While there was no public audience, it was clear how important this stage of preparation is in shaping confident, high-quality performance.
We are grateful to the CBSO for choosing the Octagon as a rehearsal space and are proud to have supported their work and EHS are incredibly proud to have played our part in preparations for their upcoming concerts. More information about their events can be found here: https://cbso.co.uk/whats-on
