ST EDWARD’S CHRONICLE
The Ogston Music School
Alexandre Jennison (
Thomas’s Battersea
) in one of the new Practice Rooms.
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.
