Piano Soirée

We are excited about our final Instrumental Music event for 2022, the Piano Soirée, in the College Theatre on Thu 1 December.  

This Piano Soirée is an evening concert to showcase the work of our piano students to family and friends. Students will prepare and perform a solo work with the selection and preparation guided by the student's instrumental music teacher.  

Students and families should arrive by 6:15 pm for a 6:30 pm start. The dress code for students is neat performance attire. No tickets are required for audience members.

Spring Vocal Concert - ‘A Triumph!’

On Wed 23 Nov, families and friends enjoyed a fabulous evening of vocal solos, small ensemble and choir performances in the College Theatre. Our performers dazzled audiences with new skills in contemporary singing and performance technique building from their experience at Discovery Night early in the year.  Thank you for supporting our music community once again, and we look forward to seeing you at the next one!

Assessment Week 

It was wonderful for all of our instrumental students to undertake a formal solo assessment during assessment week. Students performed a variety of works to a panel of two expert teachers and received valuable feedback. Our students said that they felt a sense of achievement and satisfaction after their performance. A huge thank you to the Music staff for their work and feedback for this week.
