Nominations for this concert are decided during the final exam period and are highly sought after; this concert is really the pinnacle of school music in NSW. The event is always sold out within hours as music teachers from around the state hurry to organise for their elective students to see, hear and experience the standard for highest rankings in HSC Music 1, Music 2 and Music Extension.<\/p>\n<p>Our 2022 Year 12 HSC cohort was awarded five nominations:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jade Di Girolamo<\/strong> (2022) \u2013 Performance, \u2018Gothic Carousel\u2019<br \/>\n<strong>Ruby Scott-Wishart<\/strong> (2022) \u2013 Composition, \u2018Soliloquy for Winter Solstice\u2019<br \/>\n<strong>Jacqueline Flett<\/strong> (2022) \u2013 Music Composition<br \/>\n<strong>Jacqueline Flett<\/strong> (2022) \u2013 Music Performance<br \/>\n<strong>Emma Mahant<\/strong> (2022) \u2013 Music Composition<br \/>\nOf these nominees, two were selected to perform in the Sydney Opera House Encore Concert.<\/p>\n<p>Ruby Scott-Wishart\u2018s composition was a piece written for acapella choir based on a poem published by her grandmother from a collection of over 40 years of poetry. This was performed on the evening by the MLC School Chamber Choir.<\/p>\n<p>Jade Di Girolamo was also selected for her performance of Gothic Carousel; a piece composed especially for the MLC School Piano Quartet by MLC School Head of Composition Tristan Coelho. The other members of the Piano Quartet performing with Jade were \u2013 Wisteria Hu (2022), Ruby Scott-Wishart (2022) and Coco Huang (2022).<\/p>\n<p>It is a tremendous honour to be nominated for the Encore concert. Only the top performing students from around the state are awarded these nominations. For MLC School to have two students selected to showcase their work in the actual concert is somewhat of a coup for our School. A huge congratulations to Ruby, Jade, Jaqueline and Emma. as well as Wisteria, Coco and the girls of the MLC School Chamber Choir. You all represented the School in such a wonderful way!<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Trevor Mee<br \/>\nDirector of Music<\/p>\n<p><em>Click on image gallery for full size images.
