Killara High School

PAE

Performing Arts Ensembles On Demand 

Activities that are not permitted or on hold due to Covid 3 Restrictions - 

  • Choirs, bands and ensembles
  • School performances, productions, concerts, speech nights and award presentations
  • All external providers and specialist programs not directly related to educational outcomes and support unless delivered online only

With these restrictions in place the PAE program will continue on line and ON DEMAND. 

 

This means that conductors will record a short video of the work ( rather than a ZOOM - which may be more difficult now that school is back.) The exception for Week 5 is that Mr Collins is offering a ZOOM session for CB1 and CB2 but also recording his rehearsal. As always your feedback is important!  Students are working towards recording their parts to specific pieces (see individual GC for details)  in Week 7. 

The Arts Unit Music Ensembles Applications Open

 

The Arts Unit music ensembles have gathered an envious reputation over the years, inspiring music excellence each year in hundreds of young public school students across the Sydney metropolitan area. After two very difficult years we at TAU are keen to provide significant opportunities for talented music students to help invigorate their passion for music once again and join one of our 8 highly acclaimed music ensembles (comprising):

 

·       2 symphonic bands

·       2 jazz big bands

·       A string ensemble and a full symphony orchestra

·       2 vocal ensembles

 

The standard of these ensembles is second to none, with various groups having performed at international overseas festivals and conferences and winning state and national senior and junior A grade competitions. We realise the importance of fully supporting the wonderful work done by music teachers with their school based music ensemble programs. Students involved in our ensembles bring back to their school ensembles their experience of high level music extension through engagement with experienced and inspirational conductors, and professional tutors.

 

We sincerely hope you can encourage your students to apply to audition for one of our exciting music ensembles.
