Congratulations to our talented Pymble musicians
Many of our students performed at Eisteddfods recently. The JS Hindson Strings received 3rd place, JS Capella received Highly Commended, Aurora Trio received a Highly Commended, Senior Chamber Strings Highly Commended, and Pymble Chorale also received Highly Commended. I am so proud of all our students, particularly those in the smaller groups who received very high marks and positive feedback.
Jessamy Facer (Year 7) has been accepted to perform in the Australian Opera’s performance of Tosca. This is a wonderful accolade for Jessamy and her family. We are all enormously Pymble proud and can’t wait to see you on stage with all the wonderful Australian Opera.
