Music
Thank you!
Garden Party proved to be yet another gorgeous day. The weather was sensational and our clever bands, Piccoline Choir, and Pizzicato strings gave the day an extra sense of beauty.
Thank you to all students involved, and I extend my gratitude to our fabulous Music staff; Ms D’Elia, Ms Farlow, Ms Buckley, Ms Lee, Mrs Hare, Mr Schweinberger, Ms Ashton, Mr Stafford, Ms Zeltzer, Mr Rossman, and Ms Gladys.
Congratulations

Joubert Singers Performance of JS Bach’s St Matthew’s Passion
Recently, a group of our students participated in a performance of JS Bach’s St Matthew’s Passion, joining the Joubert Singers. The Joubert Singers is a group of non-auditioned members of the community who love to sing, directed by Ms Erzsi Marossecky. Erzsi works with one of our trios along with teaching at the Conservatorium of Music. The students who participated in this concert formed lasting friendships, and met people outside of our Pymble world, learning to sing a difficult piece of music. They gave up their time on the weekends to be part of the rehearsals and showed care and commitment to their musical pursuits. Well done to Ellie Lau (Year 7), Constance Chow (Year 8), Elena Duan (Year 8), Annabella Bayfield (Year 8), and Joanna Au (Year 10).
