ENCORE Nomination \u2013 Madison Au<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Congratulations to Madison Au (Year 12) who has received a nomination for her Music Extension Performance program.\u00a0 This is an outstanding achievement as Madison had also received a nomination for her Music 2 Performance from her examination last year (Madison completed the Music 2 course as an accelerated student).\u00a0 We hope that Madison\u2019s performance can be included as a part of next year\u2019s HSC Encore Concert.\u00a0 Well done Madison!<\/p>\n

Amati Strings<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Amati Strings performed at Assembly this week and provided a lovely musical welcome to Term 4 for students and staff. Amati Strings worked hard in Term 3 to perfect repertoire for performance at the Australian School Band and Orchestra Festival (ASBOF). The girls gained a Gold Award in the Ernest Llewellyn Premier Event at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. A requirement for ASBOF is that each ensemble performs a work by an Australian composer and Amati Strings performed a new piece called Stringybark Suite<\/em> by Nicholas Buc. This piece was commissioned for the Australian String Teachers\u2019 Association (AUSTA) National Conference in Melbourne in July this year. Mrs Sweeney liaised with the composer Nicholas Buc, who was thrilled to learn that a special harp part has been arranged for Ilaria Roncolato (Year 10) for this catchy piece.<\/p>\n

Listen to Stringybark Suite<\/em> here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

String Studio Concerts<\/strong><\/h4>\n

String players will perform in String Studio Concerts to be held in Week 3 on Monday 24, Wednesday 26 and Friday 28 October. We are excited to be able to welcome parents onsite to provide an enthusiastic and appreciative audience for these concerts. Families can choose which day suits their schedule for their daughter to perform – either Monday, Wednesday or Friday. Girls will be encouraged to announce their piece, perform and bow at the end. Performance opportunities of this nature, in a supportive and non-threatening environment, are vital to a musician\u2019s development. String tutors have been working with each girl in her lesson to prepare a solo piece to perform. Please ensure that your daughter confirms her solo piece with her tutor, then submit this form for inclusion in one of the three String Studio Concerts in Week 3:\u00a0 22 String Studio Concerts<\/a><\/p>\n

Closing date for String Studio Concert entries \u2013 Friday 21 October 2022.<\/p>\n
