Ms Plaminiak said: "It will be our first concert after a long and sad period of lockdowns and the pandemic, which is exciting. This year we will do a very special 'Corby Proms'-style concert with a very high standard with big dresses and gowns and smart suits, as well as precisely prepared classical piano music.
"The Christmas piano concert aims to provide students the experience to demonstrate their skills and play in front of parents, family and loved ones, with each receiving an award for their efforts. I think it promotes self-esteem and is a recognition of individual achievements."
The Corby Prom takes place on the December 12 in the Weston Theatre at Brooke Weston Academy.
