Our wonderful ensembles and Year 12 musicians entertained an appreciative audience on Thursday 8 June at the Senior School Music Festival, which featured repertoire from classical to jazz and contemporary.  They were treated to an evening of outstanding performances from concert band, orchestra, stage band, string orchestra, choirs, strings and brass ensembles, chapel band and soloists in a relaxed cabaret atmosphere.  Our sincere thanks to all those who contributed to this successful evening.  Bravo to our wonderful musicians!

Orange Winter Jazz Festival

Stage Band played to an enthusiastic and vocal audience in a packed venue at the Winter Jazz Festival on 9 June.  Students played an hour set featuring a range of jazz styles from trad jazz to Latin and funk.  Audience members commented on the high standard of our musicians; our students were fabulous ambassadors for Kinross Wolaroi and staff were super proud of their efforts.
