Music Soirée

We enjoyed an exceptional Term 2 Music Soirée on Thursday 19th June. A huge number of senior performers took part from across Years 7-12, in front of a packed supportive audience of friends and family in the PAC Recital Room. Well done to the following students on their musical items:

Year 7: Avery Dunshea, Lilian Kapoor, Otto Miskovic-Wheatley

Year 8: Wolfgang Hummel, Zoe Papasotiriou

Year 9: Simeon Gee, Arden Kloiber, Ruby Minter, Chloe Stenberg

Year 10: Lizzie Nealon-Cook, Jessica Nutt, Tara Sataka

Year 11: Ruby Gale, Iluka Horn, Liz Isbister, Alex Stewart

Year 12: Frankie McNair, Evie Pritchard

There was a diverse range of instruments and music played, including duets and trios. We were excited to see some new faces making their soirée debuts as well as students who continue to develop their skills in increasingly sophisticated musical works.

Thanks also go to:

Accompanists Lyn Phillips and Mrs Julie Cooney
Peripatetic tutors Rachel Collyer and Robyn Glindemann
Mr Rowley Moore for technical expertise and sound desk operation
Ms Kathi Downs for program and organisational support

We also acknowledge the family commitment and encouragement that supports our students in their musical endeavours. Well done all!
