Band Camp 5-6 March<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Last week members of Concert Band and Symphonic Winds were provided the privilege of having two days of intense music playing, with expert tuition from instrumental specialists, including Ms Sarah Bernard, Mr Ben Blunt, Ms Laura Duque-Cash, Mr Angus Key, Mr Jeremy Kindl, Mr Oscar Lewis, Ms Megan Lipworth and Mr Will Naayan. Our guest conductor, Mr James Pensini, enabled the bands to further develop their skills as an ensemble. Both days were made possible by the hard work put in by the tutors, Mr Pensini, the music department staff, and of course the boys. Special mention and our thanks to Old Boy mentor Mr Charlie Corbett-Jones, Ms Bai who assisted the ensembles, Dr Gilmour who conducted Concert Band, and Ms Robertson who conducted Symphonic Winds and organised the two-day event. The days were split into sectional tutorials and ensemble rehearsals, with a particularly engaging joint performance held on Wednesday. Ms Robertson had the great idea that the only thing possibly better than one ensemble was two ensembles combined! Wednesday afternoon was an enjoyable time of playing as one big band by sight-reading through Pelican Dance<\/em> and Rampage<\/em>. The camp was a wonderful learning experience and we are all very grateful to everyone involved in making it such a success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Concert Group \u2013 James Ehnes with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Last week, Shore music students were able to experience the Sydney Symphony Orchestra (SSO) perform Johannes Brahms\u2019 Violin Concerto<\/em> with celebrated violinist James Ehnes as soloist. Brahms\u2019 monumental concerto is renowned for its demanding technical passages and emotional depth, showing Ehnes virtuosity. In addition to Brahms Violin Concerto,<\/em> the SSO also performed Maurice Ravel\u2019s Mother Goose<\/em>. Originally composed as a set of short piano pieces and later expanded into a ballet, Mother Goose<\/em> is celebrated for its imaginative orchestration and storytelling with each movement inspired by fairy tales. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For many in attendance, however, the highlight of the evening was James Ehnes\u2019s appearance. From Canada, Ehnes is known for his exceptional technique and warm sound. He has performed with many of the world\u2019s foremost orchestras, including the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Tonhalle-Orchester Z\u00fcrich, and the London Philharmonic Orchestra, earning critical acclaim and multiple prestigious awards for both his performances and recordings. His commanding presence on stage and profound musicality have established him as one of the leading violinists of his generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shore music students thoroughly enjoyed this performance and look forward to the upcoming performance of Candide.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
