Music at Gioia House
Celebration of Music 2023
Congratulations to all the performers from Gioia House Choir who offered Australian composer Paul Jarman’s work Southern Skies to open our Celebration of Music concert.
Thanksgiving Mass – 6 December
After our Fra Angelico performances on Friday evening, our curriculum choral time will turn its focus to the Thanksgiving Mass to be held on 6 December. This is a beautiful tradition, with each year group in turn sharing a performance piece for each other and for the community.
Important information: Fra Angelico Festival – 17 November
As per communications that were sent earlier this term, our inaugural Fra Angelico festival is promising to be a highlight of the year, and an opportunity to showcase all the singing and playing that happens in Curriculum Music at Del Monte. Every child from Prep to Year 6 will be playing and/or singing! Please refer to the official communications, summarised below for quick reference:
5:00pm – 6:00pm | Del Monte Ensembles are performing
6:15pm – 7:00pm | Gioia House Ensembles & Sinfonietta are performing
7:15pm – 7:30pm | Senior Taiko Ensemble is performing
8:15pm – 8:45pm | Senior Stage & Rock Bands are performing
All students are to present to the communicated meeting point no later than 15 minutes prior to their set time. Parents are to sign out students at the end of the respective session from the Back Stage meeting point.
Please note, that if a child is not signed for by a guardian or adult delegate at the end of their session, they are not able to be released back into the Festival for reasons of Duty of Care. We thank parents for arriving promptly at both the drop off and pick up times, and for your patience as we navigate the likely congestion at these peak times.
We hope you have a wonderful festival!
