Year 7 Recital

Our run of very popular Year Level Recitals comes to a close this week! All students in Year 7 who take weekly lessons on an instrument or in voice are invited to participate in the Year 7 Recital; students who learn through the Music Department will have their applications managed through their tutors, while those who learn externally can apply through the Music Office. The concert starts at 7pm in the GBLT on Wednesday 18 November, with doors opening at 6:30pm for students to tune, warm and set-up.

Applications are due to the Music Office by Monday 16 November. Please contact the Music Department with any questions.
