Koristers

Elijah Performance 18-19 November - Bathurst & Orange  

Koristers had a busy weekend, performing in two concerts of Elijah by Mendelssohn. Koristers featured in an unaccompanied item as well as singing with the combined chorus (Willoughby Singers, Allegri Singers and Orange Chamber Choir) and the Orange Symphony Orchestra. Despite the long hours of concentration and hot conditions in both venues, the students represented themselves and the School in an exemplary manner. Our young singers received many compliments on their beautiful singing and conduct from audience and other musicians alike. Thank you to all our Koristers and families for making the effort to be a part of this fabulous community music event.  

Katie Sinclair – Koristers Director  

In addition to our Koristers, performing so beautifully, several of our orchestra members played in the orchestra for Elijah.  Congratulations to Angus Croft, Michelle Hayes and Alex Caban, who mastered some very difficult music!   

MUSICAL 2024

The anticipation continues – what will the musical for 2024 be? 

There are only 10 options remaining on the board with staff and students eagerly checking each day to see what has been removed and what remains. 

There are only a few days left until all will be revealed. Whatever the final outcome, the reveal wall has proved to be a bit of fun amongst the Yearly Examinations and final days of Term and has certainly generated a lot of discussion around the Music Centre. Stay tuned for the announcement next week!

Nine Lessons & Carols
