News from Cherie Spannenburg

Head of Music

Carmina Burana

Our first extended rehearsal with St Monica’s and St Andrew’s students was held recently in Lennon Hall. It was a marathon effort by staff and students, but the music is coming together very well. Rehearsal began at 2pm after setting up the hall for the orchestra and choir.  We rehearsed together as a large group, separately in sectionals, had dinner together, played some games for social interaction and then finished off rehearsing together. Thank you to all the staff and our gap student who gave so freely of his time to make this happen. 

 

If we have any fathers who are interested in singing, you are most welcome to join us.  Please email either me cspannenbu@cns.catholic.edu.au or Chris Burcin cburcin@cns.catholic.edu.au for more information.
