Congratulations to members of the SCEGGS Choir, Madrigal Singers and Amati Strings who performed a newly arranged version The Promise <\/em>by Alice Chance, this time featuring string accompaniment.\u00a0 This work was commissioned in 2020 as the school\u2019s musical acknowledgement of country.\u00a0 First Nations musician violinist, vocalist, dancer and composer Eric Avery was to perform as part of the school\u2019s NAIDOC assembly, but Eric was unable to perform as he was unwell. The students had a wonderful time working with Eric in a workshop last week to prepare for the assembly performance and we look forward to a future collaboration with him. Thank you to Mrs Anne Sweeney (Director of Strings), Miss Allison Harrigan (Director of Choral) with their preparation of the students.\u00a0 Thank you also to Ms Stephanie Holmes for her accompaniment of the performance.\u00a0 Well done to all performers, it was a special performance for our school\u2019s celebration of NAIDOC week.<\/p>\n
