Dear Parents and Caregivers,
Rather than an ending, the cadence of our music programme begins in Term 4. Our Performance Plus Keynote brought 3 very different perspectives to the way in which one can forge a pathway in Music, Tim Minchin, Stefania Kurniawan (Royal Australian Navy), and Vladimir Gorbach (Sydney Conservatorium), were very generous is sharing their experiences in carving out their respective careers with the Arts. Funny anecdotes and tales of failure from people who are at the top of there respective professions all formed part of a broader narrative that while hard work in and of itself may not guarantee success, it is impossible without it.
Congratulations to our Newly appointed Co-Head’s of Music: Dash Bouvier and D’Arcy Richardson. These exceptional students will be invaluable in supporting the culture of music-making that is so prevalent across our School community and will be wonderful ambassadors for the diverse musical interests of our younger Cranbrookians.
As the Musical production of Little Shop of Horrors comes to a close this week, I’d like to pay tribute to the extraordinary talents of every student involved and the huge commitment made by so many during the course of this production. Bravissimo!!!
Warm Regards
Phil Beverley
Director of Music
