Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar & Grill

Drama and Music ExcursiON

The Year 10 Drama and Music students as well as theYear 11 Music students were fortunate enough to see a play about the life of jazz singer, Billie Holiday. Both breathtaking and challenging, this inspirational musical play took us all back to a very different time with an amazing jazz band and an exceptional performance from performer, Zahra Newman. All the students and staff enjoyed the show immensely and some of their comments are below.
