Outstanding Achievement for Oban! 🎶🏆
Oban once again reached the final of the ISA Young Musician of the Year Award, held at St Hilda’s College, Oxford University. The competition was incredibly tough, with all finalists performing at a phenomenal standard.
Oban captivated the audience with a technically demanding and beautifully expressive piece that transported everyone to the streets of Brazil, so moving that you could have heard a pin drop! He was awarded the Judges Award, receiving praise for his confidence, skill and impressive performance development.
Being selected as a finalist from across all Independent Schools in the UK is an amazing achievement, but to receive the Judges Award makes this success truly special. Well done, Oban! 👏🎵
It’s always wonderful to hear how our pupils are getting on since they left HGS… and we’re absolutely delighted to share that Jack has received an offer to study at Oxford University.
Here’s what Jack had to say:
“I look back at my time at Huddersfield Grammar School not only with immense fondness, but I also firmly believe it was a crucial starting point for my development. Since starting at the top public school, Radley College - where one is never given the chance to come up for air - one really sees the importance that HGS played in preparing me for my academic journey.
"HGS teaches everyone who passes through its embracing arms that hard work and determination do pay off.
"I came back last summer to see some of my former teachers, and I thanked them most of all for giving me a passion for learning and the fire of determination that has allowed me to progress in what is an ever-evolving academic journey.
"Therefore, to put it simply, I would not be in the position of having an offer from Oxford if it were not for the values that HGS instilled within me; for that, I truly thank HGS.”
We are so proud of you, Jack, what an incredible achievement!
