Held at The Beehive, the sell-out concert welcomed an audience of around 150 and featured performances from students at Honiton Community College, Upottery Primary School, Littletown Primary Academy and Honiton Primary School.

The programme showcased all of Honiton Community College’s music groups, the Music Centre Ensemble and a wide variety of ensemble and vocal performances.

The evening concluded with all of the young musicians taking to the stage together for a special finale, performing songs they had prepared especially for the occasion.

The concert was organised by Honiton Community College’s Head of Music, David Turner, bringing together young musicians from across the town to celebrate music, strengthen links between local schools and inspire the next generation of performers.

Following the success of the inaugural event, the Honiton Future Musicians Concert is set to become an annual celebration of music each June.

Music at Honiton Community College, part of the Ted Wragg Trust, is a key part of school life, offering students opportunities to perform, compose, sing and collaborate across a wide range of styles and genres. It plays an important role in the culture and wellbeing of the school, bringing students together through shared musical experiences.

Caroline Brothwood, Headteacher at Honiton Community College, said:

"“It was wonderful to see so many young people sharing their love of music and performing with such confidence and enthusiasm. The concert showcased not only the incredible talent across our schools, but also the power of music to bring people together. A huge thank you goes to Mr Turner and everyone who worked so hard to make this event possible."

Moira Marder, CEO of the Ted Wragg Trust, said:

"Seeing nearly 100 young people performing together was a fantastic celebration of creativity, collaboration and community, and we are delighted that this will now become an annual event. A huge well done to every student who took part and everyone who helped make the event such a success."
