Our girls collaborated with musicians and choristers from five other Independent Schools to form a Combined Schools Choir and Symphony Orchestra. Each school also performed an individual item, showcasing the talents of their primary students. SCEGGS Year 6 Choir performed \u201cEye of the Sound Storm\u201d, an Australian composition by Alice Chance inspired by the Foreshore at Barangaroo. The Year 6 Choir was accompanied by a String Octet and percussion.
