Here's to Guildhall School's set designers and makers, past and present 🔨

Though a few things behind the scenes have changed over the years, many others look very much the same - including one job on show both in this image from the archive, and another from the summer's production, As You Like It... 🧹Can you remember your favourite Guildhall set?

We are very saddened to hear of the passing of mezzo-soprano Laura Sarti FGS, a professor and Fellow of Guildhall School who inspired generations of vocal students over several decades. Laura will be sorely missed.

We are very saddened to hear of the passing of mezzo-soprano Laura Sarti FGS.

A professor and Fellow of Guildhall School since the 1970s, Laura inspired generations of vocal students over several decades, sharing her passion, enthusiasm and expertise. Still teaching at the School at the age of 90, she retired from her position in 2014.

As a distinguished teacher of so many singers, Laura gained an international reputation, delivering vocal masterclasses in the UK, France, Switzerland, Sweden, Germany, Ireland and Portugal.

Before beginning her teaching career, Laura enjoyed a successful operatic career, singing with the English National Opera, Welsh National Opera and Glyndebourne. She was also a founding cast member of both the Kent Opera and Scottish Opera.

We share our condolences with her family, friends, colleagues and students. She will be sorely missed.

With the Autumn Term almost upon us, we're excited to be gearing up for the hustle and bustle of a new year to take over from the quiet of the summer break here at the School.

Over in Silk Street, we've been basking in the sunlight this summer; so we thought we'd take a look back at this feature of the building over the years with a few picture from the archive. Though some of the surroundings have had their updates, those stained glass windows have been a constant for generations of Guildhall alumni!☀️

Leave a comment with your memories of Silk Street in the sun below, and don't forget to tag your fellow alumni so they can join in the conversation.📢

Good luck to anyone receiving their results today! We look forward to seeing you soon 🎉
