Dear Parents and Caregivers

It has been another busy week for Cranbrook musicians. On Monday night Year 11 and 12 elective music students attended the Encore concert at the Opera House on Monday evening. The annual Encore concert showcases the outstanding musicianship of HSC students from NSW schools as singers, instrumentalists, and composers. Current Year 11 and 12 students enjoy attending this concert which is both entertaining and aspirational at this stage of their studies. Cranbrook students were really impressed with the calibre of compositions and performances presented.

On Wednesday night, the Orchestra Room was filled with the wonderful sounds of 12 young solo performers who participated in our Term 1 Soirée. To be ready at this stage of the year is no small feat, requiring discipline, determination, organisation and dedication to developing their craft.

Our MAD (Music and Drama) committee is always on the lookout for new members. It is a wonderful way for parents who wish to actively support their child’s involvement in Drama and Music and meet like-minded people in the process. Last year’s raffle has now been drawn and the winners will be contacted by a member of committee to deliver the prizes.

As we look forward, our scholars’ will take the stage next Tuesday in the Orchestra Room (12 March). This is sure to be a night that exemplifies the wonderful work of our students. This will be followed by an Easter Concert (26 March) which will feature the excellent work done by our choristers and smaller chamber ensembles.

Warm Regards
