The Department of Education Services in partnership with CayMusicA – Starlight Programme hosted a Music Workshop and Concert on Tuesday, 26 May at John Gray High School, bringing together approximately 100 students from six government schools and one private school.

During the workshop, students took part in instrumental lessons across woodwinds, strings, brass and percussion, while also gaining the exciting experience of performing together as one combined ensemble. Sessions were led by Starlight instructors Fran McConvey and Mike Glavin, with support from primary school teachers and JGHS advanced students.

The event aims to strengthen the future of instrumental music programmes as students transition into government high schools.

We extend our sincere thanks to all participants who contributed to making this event a success, and congratulate each student on their outstanding performance.
