Music News- Week 28

Year 12 Recital Night

Applications are now open for performers in the Year 12 Recital Night. Held on Wednesday 21 September from 7pm in the GBLT, the concert is open to all Year 12 musicians who take weekly lessons on their instrument or in singing. The night is a wonderful celebration of individual Year 12 musical journeys at John XXIII College, and we look forward to showcasing our most senior musicians to an audience of peers and families of our community. Applications for students who learn through the College are generally managed by Music Tutors, with additional application forms available through the Music Office for other students. Accompaniment is available through Mr Dockery, with rehearsals booked in the Music Office.

Applications to perform in the Year 12 Recital Night are limited to one per student, and close on Friday 16 September at 4pm. Please contact the Music Office with any queries.
