Purcell Students Shine at Wigmore Hall – and in the Press
We’re delighted to share that our recent concert at Wigmore Hall – which featured a powerful programme including Berio’s Folk Songs – has received a glowing review on the Get the Chance website.
In a review full of praise, music journalist James Ellis opens with ‘In what might be the finest hour of music making I have seen in London for some time, I was caught off guard with The Purcell School,’ and closes with ‘A genuine joy to see young musicians play on this scale’.
We are so proud of everyone involved – not only for the musical excellence displayed but also for the professionalism, poise and passion each student brought to the experience. This kind of recognition is a real testament to their hard work and to the support of our dedicated staff and wider school community.

Congratulations to all who took part!
Purcell Pianist Performs Solo Recital in Spain
On 2nd May, Year 12 pianist Teodora gave a solo recital at the Sala Eutherpe in León, Spain, following an invitation from the prestigious Fundación Eutherpe. Supported by Spain’s Ministry of Culture, the foundation has hosted more than 7,500 musicians from over 50 countries since its founding in 2004, providing a truly international platform for young talent.
Teodora performed an hour-long programme featuring works by Beethoven, Bach, Debussy and Prokofiev – composers to whom she feels a deep artistic connection. Her performance was met with such enthusiasm that the audience called her back for three encores.
She extends heartfelt thanks to her teacher, William Fong, and to the school for their ongoing support in shaping her musical journey.
Congratulations to Teodora.
Congratulations to Year 11 harpist Selin, who was awarded 1st Prize in her harp class at the North London Music Festival on Bank Holiday Monday 5th May.
