17th MLC School Sydney Opera House Concert – Fate, Fortune, and Fantasy

Congratulations to all the performers, members of the backstage crew and staff involved in the 17th MLC School Sydney Opera House Concert – Fate, Fortune, and Fantasy.

The concert was a wonderful mix of challenging, traditional works juxtaposed against sing-along favorites; there really was something for everyone. The performance of Old Girl Alice Chance’s composition ‘How will we know til we go’ involved the MLC School massed Choir, Senior School Choir, Angeli Choir and the Symphony Orchestra and was a highlight. Alice graduated from MLC School in 2011 and is currently our Head of Composition. It was in her final year at MLC School that Alice really started to believe that she could become a composer. She went on to study composition in Sydney and Paris and was awarded the 2024 APRA AMCOS Work of the Year: Large Ensemble for her work ‘The Changing Landscape’.  Alice remembers her time singing from the stalls in the Opera House and thinking ‘one day my work will be performed here.’ I truly hope that our current students felt equally inspired to dream because of their involvement.

While the concert was a collective effort and our students were truly remarkable, our Music staff deserve particular recognition. Thank you and congratulations to our wonderful music staff and all our music tutors.
