Congratulations  

Junior School Choir and Stanhope Concert Band performed magnificently at the Junior School open morning on Tuesday 19 August. Despite the drizzling rain, the students created a wonderfully warm environment and showed their skills so well. 

To our brilliant Music Scholars. As you read this, the music scholars will be performing to a crowd in the Music Gallery. The amount of talent these young ladies possess never ceases to amaze us in the Music team. They work hard and should be applauded for their efforts, and I really hope some will go on to pursue music careers. 

Inviting the wonderful Allie Osborne (Associate Concert Master of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra) allowed the girls to interact and discover what lies beyond the gates of Pymble and how to go for the goal of becoming a professional musician. 

Our Year 7 string quartet had their first performance on Wednesday night, performing to 165 onlookers at the Think Pymble event. The level of maturity these girls displayed filled us with pride and I know they will continue to make great inroads in the world of chamber music.

Call for Parent Volunteers – Music Support Group  

We warmly invite parents from all year groups to join our enthusiastic and supportive Music community. Musical experience is not required — just a shared passion for encouraging and supporting our talented music students. The Music Support Group plays a vital role in assisting at concerts and events throughout the year, and the students truly appreciate seeing their families involved.  

We are especially seeking Year 11 parent volunteers, as we currently have no representation from this year group.  

If you’re interested in getting involved, meeting other music-loving families, and making a meaningful contribution to the program, we’d love to hear from you.
