The primary students were amazed and entertained by Evelyn\u2019s virtuosic performance and they enjoyed chatting to her afterwards about all things cello. <\/p>\n<p>The girls watched videos of inspiring cellists and shared food and lots of laughs together. Special thanks to Evelyn for being an excellent role model for the primary cellists, encouraging them to practise every day!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7408\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7408\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7408 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2022\/04\/Music-Matters_CelloPower-e1649127426250.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7408\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">(Left to right: Giselle Wharton, Ms Amelia McCluney, Olivia Roberts, Ilka Johns-Hammond, Luella Elliott, Evelyn Li, Victoria Lincoln, Akansha Singh, Georgina Auld, Ms Heidi Jones, Elizabeth Teoh)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Forthcoming Music Events \u2013 Term 2<\/strong><\/h4>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse;width: 100%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\"><strong>Musicale 2<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\">Thursday 12 May Week 3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\"><strong>Stage 2 Musical Concert<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\">Wednesday 18 May Week 4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\"><strong>Year 12 Concert Evening<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\">Thursday 2 June Week 5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\"><strong>SPAN Event featuring Anna Dowsley<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\">Thursday 9 June Week 6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong><br \/>\nPauline Chow<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Head of Music<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Musicale 1 \u2013 Of Foreign Lands and Places\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 Congratulations to the following ensembles that performed at the Musicale 1 concert last Tuesday evening, 29 March: Year 7 Choir Clarion Band Primary Percussion Ensemble Chamber Strings Bugles [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1033,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","article_category":[],"article_tag":[25],"class_list":["post-7407","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\/7407","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=7407"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/sceggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1033"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/sceggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7407"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"article_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/sceggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_category?post=7407"},{"taxonomy":"article_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/sceggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_tag?post=7407"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
