Music Notes
Party in the Park Community Show
by Gemma Webb, Year xxx
Several Kilvington music ensembles made their way to Allnutt Park on Sunday 18 March to perform at 'Party in the Park', an annual event held by Glen Eira City Council.
Despite the windy weather, we performed several pieces alongside other members of Kilvington Stage Band and Concert Band.
Having the opportunity to play music in a community setting can be nerve-wracking at times, but the experience was undoubtedly a valuable one for all the young musicians to demonstrate their abilities as performers.
We are thankful to the School for giving us all the chance to show the Glen Eira community just how far these ensembles have come.
Nicole Bull, Academic Dean of Performing Arts
The Kilvington Klefs and Cantata Choir joined forces at 'Party in the Park' to perform two songs, representing the School with smiles and enthusiasm despite the weather conditions.
Congratulations to Melody Xu from Year 6 for her solo When You Believe which was then followed by an upbeat rendition of When I Grow Up from the Broadway musical Matilda.
Congratulations to all students involved.
Jazz Cabaret Evening
The Jazz Cabaret will commence this evening (Friday 23 March) at 6.00pm in Dalton Hall.
All tickets have been sold, but extra seats will be placed around the hall if you haven’t booked a seat and would like to attend.
Our talented students will be performing an array of musical jazz and blues items. Stage Band, Concert Band, String Quartet, Choirs and many more ensembles will be entertaining you throughout the evening. There will also be door prizes and raffles.
Please come along, bring a plate of food and drink and enjoy a fun and relaxed night.
Star of the Week
Jesse Thompson for his beautiful performance at the Soiree last Friday. Jesse is currently preparing for his Grade 4 AMEB flute exam. Good luck Jesse!
Melody Xu for presenting a variety of very impressive performances at the Friday Soirees including a speech and drama item, singing and playing the piano.
Final Soiree for Term 1
The final Friday Afternoon Soiree for Term 1 finished on a high note last Friday, with 18 students performing to a large audience of family, friends and teachers.
These Soirees have been a huge success, with students presenting a wide variety of vocal, piano, flute, violin, marimba and speech and drama items.
They offer young musicians, singers and drama students the opportunity to perform in a low-key supportive environment, whilst developing valuable performing skills and confidence.
The Friday Afternoon Soirees will continue next term. Dates will be available before the end of Term 1.
