Choir Festival Rehearsals
Each of our Year 3-6 Choirs have the privilege of participating in combined schools choirs for statewide arts festivals. These festivals provide a unique and exciting opportunity to share singing with students from across the state, in featured venues in our city.
- Year 3 Choir - Primary Proms festival, with a concert at Sydney Town Hall
- Year 4 Choir - Festival of Children's Music, with a concert at The Concourse Chatswood
- Year 5 Choir - Sydney NorthWest Music Festival, taking to the stage at The Concourse Chatswood
- Year 6 Choir - Festival of Choral Music, performing at Sydney Opera House
The Year 5 and Year 6 Choirs embarked on their combined schools rehearsals this week for their respective music festivals. Each choir commented on the joy of meeting students from other schools, and diving into their selected repertoire. We look forward to the Year 3 and Year 4 choirs experiencing the same at their rehearsals, taking place next term. Thank you to our choir directors for making all of this possible.
