 | The boys of Kipling have celebrated the exceptional musical talent
in the house with a newly released CD, 'Music From Kipling', which
includes performances by The Kipling Jazz Band and The Kipling Close
Harmony Group.
There are solos and ensembles in the recording, which features players and singers from every year in the house.
The music ranges from Duke Ellington and Scott Joplin numbers to
Gershwin and Rachmaninov in the 17-track album, recorded during the
year by Kipling tutor and musician, Derek Longman. Leaving music
scholars, Ollie Lepage-Dean and Josh Edwards, are featured on the CD,
which concludes with their performance of the popular duet, 'You Raise
Me Up'.
| "We are delighted to possess so many talented musicians in the
house," says Housemaster, Russell Matcham. "This recording captures a
slice of Kipling's artistic life as well as recording the talent that
has entertained and moved audiences in recent years." Meet The Musicians

Kipling is still a pretty musical house. We have many pupils in the Haileybury Choir and a very large number who
take part in other musical bands, orchestras and societies. Most take
lessons in the Music School, while the slightly more amateur of the lot
prefer to teach themselves. | |
