PAST PERFORMANCES

Vocal Night 

On Tuesday 18 May all the vocal students performed in the Semester 1 Vocal Night.  The opening performance from the Choir set the stage for an amazing nights entertainment of solos, and small groups, finishing with the Senior Singers. Congratulations to all the students who performed in the evening. 

 

Thank you to Ms Blanka West for her ongoing development of these students and organisation of the event and to Ms Su Rogerson for her assistance on the evening. Thanks also to Mr Nick Xanthoudakis and his AV team for allowing the students to shine, and to Mr Andrew Krause for his photography capturing the evening.

String Night

It was a fantastic opportunity on Thursday 20 May for the string students to perform to a highly receptive audience. The standard of playing was extraordinarily high and demonstrated growing skills, both for soloists and ensemble players. Congratulations to all the students in Chamber strings, Keenan strings, the advanced Year 7 & 8 String groups, and the Senior String players for performing at such a high level.  

Thank you to Mr Stuart Cook, Ms Rose Kavanagh, Ms Christine Vincent and Mr Andrew Albanis for their attendance, organisation of performers and ensembles and support for the evening.  Thank you to Ms Clare Bugeja for organizing the entire night.
