Light Her Path Fundraising Dinner – Lux Strings & Madrigal Ensemble

Lux Strings and Madrigal Ensemble have been invited to perform at the Light Her Path Fundraising Dinner on Saturday 1 June  in the Great Hall.

Lux Strings will be providing background music as guests arrive from 6.30pm – 7.10pm.

Lux Members need to be on-site from 5.45pm – 7.15pm.

Madrigal Ensemble will be singing two songs during the evening. They will sing ‘Lanterns’, a Birds of Tokyo song along with the Bass player from Birds of Tokyo, Mr Ian Berney, Amber Jarman as soloist and our very own, Matt Moore on drums. Their second song is ‘Diamonds’, a song made famous by Rhianna, this time featuring Camille Asher as soloist.

Madrigal Ensemble Members need to be on-site from 7.30pm – 9.45pm.

We are asking performers to wear black for this occasion rather than their school uniform.

Australian School Band and Orchestra Festival

Bands (Clarion Concert Band, Holst Wind Ensemble) – Sunday 23 June

Strings (Contemporary Strings) – Sunday 28 July

Several SCEGGS ensembles have been enrolled to perform at the Australian School Band and Orchestra Festival this year. The Festival is a non-competitive event and rather than being ranked, all ensembles received a Gold, Silver or Bronze rating which reflects their level of achievement for the particular event level in which they have performed. All events are adjudicated by professional musicians and music educators. ASBOF is a wonderful opportunity for our SCEGGS ensembles to perform on stage, to hear ensembles from other schools and to receive inspirational advice and performance tips from the adjudicators.
