Music
Congratulations
It’s been quite a busy week for the Music department, preparing gigs for school based and external events.
On Tuesday 7 March, the Year 12 Music 2 students showcased their performances as part of their HSC repertoire assessment program. Instruments ranged from Oboe to Clarinet, French horn to Voice, Cello to Viola and Piano and each student performed magnificently. It is always a humbling experience to mark these students as we, as teachers, realise how much talent these girls possess. Thank you for providing us with a wonderful way to spend the morning.
On Wednesday 8 March, Ms Zeltzer and the Year 11 Music 1 Course provided music for the Justice Unite event on Gloucester Lawn. The girls sang, and played, providing a wonderfully warm environment bringing the College together as one. The Knox boys also had a go on the stage, proving music really does have the ability to unite everyone with its power.
On Saturday 11 March, the College String Quartet, directed by Mr Rossman, was invited to play at the “Time is Precious” ball: a charity raising funds for bowel cancer. Claire Lee, Charlotte Wykes, Annie Luo and Sitian Chen performed with style, grace and humility, devoting their evening to “giving back”. The MC of the evening was so impressed with their talent, he asked them to perform on the stage, to provide the “background” music. The famous quote “nobody puts Baby in the corner” sprung to mind when our delightful musicians were removed from the corner to take up centre stage!
Performance Jackets
Please return any performance jackets that are no longer required. We are running low. They can be returned to the Music Admin office.
All new girls must have a performance jacket and t-shirt – these will be worn at the upcoming Ensemble Concert, over the Pymble Music t-shirt with black pants. Please do make sure you have the correct attire for the concert. New students can visit Gladys in the Music office to get their sizing sorted.
Music Hoodies
The uniform store sells the hoodies for $50.00 and you can purchase one and ask for “Music” to be embroidered along the back. The embroidery costs $15.00. Girls will be able to wear these during winter when rehearsals take place during the colder, darker months. Please purchase here.
