East London School of Music honoured by Hackney Council in End of Year Student Awards
Musicians from the East London School of Music (ELSOM), a Centre of Influence in London Area 6C, were recently honoured by Hackney Council in a special end of year student award ceremony which took place at the Clapton Community SDA Church based in Hackney, East London.
The audience were treated to invigorating musical performances by ELSOM’s Woodwind Ensemble, Cello Quintet, Brass Group, Pipe Organists and the Hyland House Violin Group before each of the students were presented with awards by Hackney Councillor, Michael Desmond, who said: “Music is so important in bringing communities together. It’s a real pleasure to be in such a beautiful auditorium to experience such joyful musicians and music. Congratulations on your success.”
Also in attendance was the Madam Speaker for Hackney Council, Councillor Anya Sizer, who said: “The musical pieces played today have been absolutely fantastic and moving. I do invite you to take time to pause and reflect on what a remarkable achievement these group of students have made throughout the year – through their involvement in the King Charles III Coronation Concert at the Hackney Town Hall, a Black History Month Award ceremony at the Stanborough Conference Centre in Watford, an appearance on the BBC Songs of Praise programme, an invitation to participate in a concert at the Royal College of Music in Central London as well as receiving accreditation from the Trinity College London School of Music as a Centre of Influence for 2023-2024. We at Hackney Council are so proud of all ELSOM students graduating today and wish you all many more continued successes in the years to come.”
On accepting the Trinity College London School of Music Award from Cllr Desmond, Fiona D. Pacquette, Managing Director of ELSOM said: “This award is for all the dedicated students and staff who make ELSOM what it is today and for that we give God praise.”
The East London School of Music (ELSOM) String Orchestra will be holding its end of year fundraising concert on 9th December 2023, 4:30-6pm at Chiswick Seventh-day Adventist Church, Stamford Brook Road, London, W6 0XW.
