Music enthusiasts at Springfield were in for a treat on 13 February as the all-female professional Electric String Trio based in Southampton called ‘Cordelectra’, visited us for an unforgettable live music experience. Known for their unique blend of classical music with a modern twist, Cordelectra has been captivating audiences across the UK and Europe, and their stop at Springfield was no exception.

Cordelectra’s performance was a masterful display of how traditional classical music can be reimagined with contemporary influences. The group played an eclectic range of genres that kept the audience entertained. This fusion not only showcased their exceptional musical talent but also highlighted the timelessness and versatility of classical music.

The visit was particularly special for our GCSE Music students. Many students found inspiration in Cordelectra’s ability to effortlessly blend different musical styles. The performance sparked curiosity and provided valuable insights into the art of musical fusion, encouraging students to explore and experiment with their own musical expressions.

We are grateful to Cordelectra for sharing their passion and talent with our community and to Portsmouth Music Hub for organising the visit. Events like this not only enrich our students’ educational experience but also foster a greater appreciation for the arts. We look forward to welcoming more such enriching performances in the future.
