IMP Summer Concert

On Friday 1 December, the IMP members and their families heralded the beginning of summer with a sensational showcase of all the school’s music ensembles at the annual IMP Summer Concert.

The Fountain Quad was abuzz with the sizzle of the barbecue, the lively conversations, and the ever-popular gelato stall. Small ensembles created a festival atmosphere, entertaining the crowd as they feasted, and thankfully the threatened summer storm stayed away.

When the time came to open the hall doors, the excited crowd were met with a new seating and staging layout, which served to enhance the acoustic, and smooth transitions between items. As always, each ensemble performed with great skill, expertly guided by their conductors, and a testament to the hours of rehearsal they have all put in over the year. It was particularly exciting to witness the growth of the vocal ensemble with numbers not seen for many years.

A huge thanks to the IMP Concert Committee for their tireless efforts and without whom this event would not happen. Thanks also to the IMP community who donated time, food, and money for the event, and who have provided the opportunity for their children to take part in a world-class music program. And of course, a big thanks to the school executive and administration, who provide constant support. Congratulations to all IMP members for your hard work and commitment to your ensembles throughout the year.
