Celebration of Sound

Phillip Reichman - Head of Music

“As the curtains drew back and the stage was bathed in the warm glow of lights, I was transported to a world where music painted emotions, and the audience was swept away on the wings of harmony. 

The evening was a symphony of talent, dedication, and passion that left an indelible mark on every soul present… It was as if the instruments were not merely inanimate objects, but vessels carrying the dreams, aspirations, and heartbeats of the performers”.

This spectacular musical event marked the pinnacle of Donvale's annual concert series, a highly anticipated showcase that has captured excitement throughout the entire year. It represents the culmination of many months of hard work, practice, and collaborative efforts. 

 

With more than 300 students investing their heart and soul into their performances, the event served as a testament to the school's unwavering dedication to nurturing musical talent and cultivating a profound appreciation for the arts.

 

As we peer into the future, our anticipation shifts toward the upcoming events on the horizon. For enthusiasts of jazz, the countdown has begun for the Jazz Night slated for the conclusion of Term 3. This promises to be an enchanting evening of improvisation, rhythm, and soul-stirring melodies, allowing the students to immerse themselves in the realm of jazz. 

 

Additionally, our sights are set on the Term 4 concert series, which will take us on an eclectic journey through an array of musical genres and themes, skillfully presented by our orchestras and concert bands.

 

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our exceptional music team, who orchestrated and led the event to its resounding success. A special mention goes out to Peter Sheridan and Janine Power, whose dedication to programming, organizing staff, and handling the myriad behind-the-scenes tasks was instrumental in bringing the evening together. 

 

Lastly, our profound appreciation goes to our amazing heavenly Father, whose presence fills us with passion and hope for the future, allowing the joy of music to resonate deeply within our hearts.
