Jazz Cabaret Evening - 31 March

Melody Xu, Year 11

Do you ever struggle to escape boredom on Friday evenings? I have a solution!

On Friday 31 March, we will be holding a Jazz Cabaret for all Years 7 to 12 students and parents. Students in Choirs, Concert Band, Chamber Strings, Celtic Band, Stage Band, Flute Trio, Kilvington Dancers and Orchestra will also be performing as part of these ensemble groups.  

Senior School Music students will have the opportunity to showcase their talent through performances which will include an array of music, jazz and blues items.

I have been performing in the Jazz Cabaret since 2018 and I can tell you that the performances are getting better each year!

All family and friends are warmly invited to attend. Please bring a plate of food and drink and enjoy a fun and relaxed evening of intimate jazz performances!
