On Friday morning, 29th November, Stratford Schools were treated to a very special performance of music from an Israeli Youth Orchestra. Jorden Bukspan (5th Year) reminds us what was so special about the morning.

As part of Mitzvah Day and Hanukkah celebrations we held a very special concert organised by Mr. Misannelli. The headlining act were a superb Youth Orchestra from Haifa. They were welcomed by Rabbi Lent, following the lighting of the menora. Shortly after the room was lifted by the upbeat Cliezner music followed by classic Israeli songs. I think the highlight of the show was "The Typewriter" which we were completely blown away by.
