Drama
Year 7 students performed their scenes, inspired by Roald Dahl’s, ‘The BFG’, to our Year 2 students. The students used their expressive voices, animated gestures and utilised the space to create engaging scenes for their younger peers.
After performing at Queensland Theatre, Year 9 Drama are now workshopping their scenes from ‘Flowers in Antarctica’ in preparation for our upcoming LUX Arts Festival on Friday 8 November.
Opus 4
Congratulations to our primary musicians for their exceptional performances at Opus 4 last Thursday evening. It was a pleasure to present music from our choral, string, and band ensembles, and to enjoy the delightful performances by the Dance Troupe and Irish Dancers.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to all the staff and volunteers whose dedication and hard work made the event a success. A special shoutout to senior students, Tiffany Lee, Do Hee Lee, Manidhi Chezhian, Imogen Lockyer, Mia Geere, and our Year 6 music captains for compering the evening and assisting behind the scenes.
Brisbane Boys' College Grand Concert
Last Friday evening Canzona had the wonderful opportunity to perform the famous Coronation anthem “Zadok the Priest” with the Brisbane Boys’ College Collegian singers and Symphony Orchestra at their Grand Concert. Congratulations to all students involved on their exceptional performance and for giving their time and talents to be a part of this opportunity. We are very fortunate to be able to have the experience to perform such iconic works. We look forward to performing this great work again at Speech Night with Brisbane Boys College in Term 4.

Royal School of Church Music Event
Did you know that Christian Gante, our piano and guitar tutor as well as piano accompanist, is also a fine organist, and has played the pipe organ at our annual Secondary Speech Night for the past 3 years.
Christian is currently on the committee of the Royal School of Church Music and would like to encourage anyone who has an interest in pipe organs to come along to a ‘Pipes and Pizza’ event which introduces students, young and old, to pipe organs around Brisbane. There will be speakers and performers, followed by an open console where attendees can have a try of the pipe organ, followed by some pizza.
