Music Matters

Sing and String 2026

On Sunday, 8 March 2026, we welcomed 62 students from Sydney Grammar School for the inaugural Sing and String Workshop, a coming together of like-minded choristers and string players make music together with our closest school neighbours. In both school calendars there are concerts that take many weeks of musical preparation and artistic excellence.

In contrast, the Sing and String Workshop was an experiment to see just what could be achieved in one day when you put enthusiastic musicians and conductors in a room together for a few hours, work hard and then boldly perform this new music to an audience.

The result was a wonderful concert, warmly appreciated by SCEGGS and Sydney Grammar parents.

Special thanks to Sydney Grammar staff Mr Greg Platt, Ms Belinda Jezek, Mr Koen van Stade and Mr Nicholas Parry for bringing their talented students and to Mrs Anne Sweeney,  Ms Allison Harrigan and Mr Lachlan Massey for organising the day.
