Concert Group

On Thursday 17 October students attended a concert at the Sydney Opera House to see the Sydney Symphony Orchestra perform George Gershwin’s An American in Paris, Stravinsky’s Pulcinella Suite and Ravel’s Piano Concert for the Left Hand. On Tuesday 15 October students attended the Roslyn Packer Theatre to watch the musical Dear Evan Hansen. Both events were wonderful learning experiences and very different musical experiences. Next year’s Concert Group events will be emailed to all Co-Curricular Music students.
