Music

"Music is the movement of sound to reach the soul for the education of its virtue." Plato

The Friends of Scotch Music (FOSM) is a group of parents who support the work of boys and staff in the Music Department. The next meeting will be on Tuesday 15 March at 7:00pm with cheese platter and drinks provided. The evening will be held in the Senior School Music Room and FOSM welcome both Middle School parents and parents with boys who are new to Senior School. As the combined Scotch/PLC Symphony Orchestra will also be rehearsing at that time, you will have an opportunity to hear them prepare for their upcoming performances.
