The March Arts Making Music Day is a day which focuses particularly on inviting musicians to share and make their music accessible to all areas of different communities.<\/p>\n<p>At 10.15am, 32 choristers from Years 7 to 12 loaded onto the bus where they warmed up as they headed towards the venue. When we arrived, Choir sang 10 songs in the stairwell located outside of the Intensive Care Unit to a very warm and appreciative audience of hospital staff, visitors, patients as well as numerous SCEGGS alumni and parents who work at RPA. We sang, accompanied by Ms Holmes on the piano, sacred Easter works, including \u201cThe Lord\u2019s My Shepherd\u201d and \u201cWhen I Survey the Wondrous Cross,\u201d as well as \u201cPsalm 100.\u201d We also sang \u201cVuelie\u201d from Frozen, along with other works written by Australian Choral composers. The event was organised by Arterie, who facilitate the innovative and valuable inclusion of visual and performing arts in healthcare practices. The use of music in healthcare and the medical field is something that is increasing as research towards the health benefits associated with music expands, which made Choir\u2019s contribution so meaningful. One of the organisers who helped bring the day to life, Amanda Solomon, expressed; \u201ca huge thank you for your amazing performance today \u2013 it was such a joy to see you all in action and watch the response from people walking past, up and down the stairs, hanging over the glass walls and to receive comments from other staff members who told me they heard it all over the hospital. The mix of tunes and tempos gave such a variety so I really appreciate your time and hope we can do it again sometime.\u201d Following the performance, we were informed that our singing could be heard from the 11<sup>th<\/sup> floor of the hospital!<\/p>\n<p>Choir had such a wonderful time, and it was a really lovely way to share our love for singing with so many people. Thank you so much to Ms Holmes for learning our piano accompaniments &#8211; your brilliant accompaniment really inspired each and every chorister to sing out on the day, and your contribution is much appreciated by the entirety of Choir as well as the audience at the RPA. Thank you also to Ms Harrigan for inviting Choir to get involved with the March Arts Making Music Day, it was such a fantastic opportunity for the choristers to perform for such a great cause.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bridgette Dunlop<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Choral Captain 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SCEGGS Eisteddfod Highlights Concert \u2013 Friday 24 March, Great Hall An invitation is warmly extended to all members of the SCEGGS community to come and hear, celebrate the musical talents of SCEGGS students.\u00a0 Over 250 performers from Primary and Secondary performed in the Eisteddfod heats for our adjudicators: Mr Robert Harris (primary instrumental), Ms Melanie [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":9113,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","article_category":[],"article_tag":[25],"class_list":["post-10270","article","type-article","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","article_tag-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/sceggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article\/10270","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/sceggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/sceggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/article"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/sceggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10270"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/sceggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9113"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/sceggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10270"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"article_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/sceggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_category?post=10270"},{"taxonomy":"article_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/sceggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_tag?post=10270"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
