Apollo Music

Apollo Music Project visited us for the second time this year. This time Year 5 enjoyed watching and listening to a string quartet. They performed music by Joseph Haydn and Maurice Ravel. They listened to some beautiful pieces and then talked about the structure of the music and the instruments that were being played including a violin that was made in the time that Mozart was alive!
