5 ST EDWARD’S CHRONICLE

The Ogston Music School

The brand new £7m Ogston Music School, designed by Tim Ronalds Architects, opened in January. It features 20 practice rooms, seven ensemble rooms, The Weston Recital Room (with seating for 100 people), dedicated Music classrooms, The Fenton Recording Studio, a Rock Room, and The Ferguson Music Library. The acoustic banners adorning the walls are large-scale reproductions of oil paintings by Art teacher Lorraine Turley. Opportunities to visit the stunning new building will come on 23rd April when the St Edward’s Singers and OSE musicians will give a concert in the Hall followed by drinks in The Weston Recital Room; and at Gaudy, when a number of special events will celebrate the opening.
