Term 4 Music Highlights 🎶
As we wrap up Term 4, we are thrilled to share the musical achievements and events that have made this term truly memorable. Our students have shown remarkable growth and dedication, and we couldn’t be more proud of their accomplishments.
This term, we hosted a combined Instrumental Festival, featuring Piano, Strings, Band, and Vocal Festivals. These events provided our students with the opportunity to showcase their talents through solo performances. Around 150 students performed on the night. It was heartening to witness the improvement and growth in our students over the last semester.
Another one of the highlights of the term was the String Spectacular. This special evening showcased the talents of around 200 of our string musicians from Year 1 through to Year 12, with performances from both Junior and Senior School co-curricular string ensembles. Families were warmly invited to attend and enjoy a diverse program of works. The event was a true celebration of the musical growth and dedication our students have shown throughout the year, culminating in an outstanding combined finale performed together by all ensembles.
We also had a fantastic Band Soiree, featuring performances from 200 students across our Year 5 to Year 12 band ensembles, as well as our Year 3 and Year 4 curriculum bands. The event showcased the repertoire students have been developing throughout the year, highlighting their musical growth and ensemble skills across all stages of the band program.
Another standout event was MLC School Idol. We were blown away by the high standard of performances this year. It was great to see the whole Senior School cheering on the performers – the energy was electrifying! MLC School Idol served as a wonderful introduction to the force and energy of MLC School for all the 2026 incoming girls that were present. Congratulations to Amélie Wallace (Year 9) for taking the win this year!
Congratulations to Samantha Kelson Gray
Congratulations to our wonderful clarinet tutor Samantha Kelson Gray who enjoyed high tea with the Governor General recently in recognition of her services to Orchestral Music with the Canberra Symphony.
We would like to thank our students for the continued hard work, efforts and enthusiasm they have shown this year. Thank you to all the families and staff for their continued support. Wishing everyone a lovely break over the festive season, and we look forward to an even bigger year of music in 2026!
