Inter House Music 2014

Congratulations to all the Mertens boys who performed in the House Music Competition. There was an amazing array of talent on display from all Houses so for us to be competitive was outstanding. Mertens musicians were ably led by Anthony Yiu and James Ritchie who performed solos (see photo below) on the piano and the cello respectively, receiving rave reviews by the adjudicator who singled out their commitment and professionalism. Raph Adomakoh stepped out of his comfort zone once again to sing vocals for the Mertens Jazz Ensemble alongside Anthony and James, continuing his great form from last year's competition. The highlight for the House was undoubtedly 'The Mertones' involving Edmund Legrave, Wilson Mak, Jacky Lai, Aidan Murphy, Ethan Pizano, Tom Tweedie-Smith, Raph Adomakoh, James Ritchie, Iain Brown, Ludwig Habsburg, Lennart Grimm, Konsti Krome, Patrick O'Brien, Jordan Bishop, Maxwell Pierce, Giorgio Oriani, Anton Alkevich with accompaniment from Mr Tester on the piano and Anson Lee on the cello. The evening was then capped off in style with a classy solo performance by cellist James Ritchie.

Overall, it was a brilliant program put together by Anthony Yiu and James Ritchie and they should be very proud of their efforts!! We certainly are! Well done Mertens!
