Year 12 IB Showcase

A huge congratulations to our Year 12 IB Higher Level Music students for their exceptional Contemporary Music Maker Showcase, titled Between Then and Now, held on Monday evening, 2 June. The concert was a powerful display of their unique artistic voices, featuring an inspiring variety of works – from cinematic film scores and emotive ballads to immersive art installations.

This showcase marked the culmination of the students’ work on the IB Contemporary Music Maker project, a core component of the Higher Level Music curriculum. This project challenges students to engage in real-life music-making by taking on the roles of researcher, creator, and performer. Over several months, students collaboratively plan and execute a music project, reflecting on the processes of exploration, experimentation, and presentation. The aim is to develop, realise, and share their artistic intentions through practical music-making, inspired by real-world practices in contemporary music.

It was a joy to witness the culmination of months of hard work, creative exploration, and musical refinement. Each piece reflected the students’ individuality and dedication, making the evening a true celebration of contemporary artistry.

Sincere thanks to all student performers, as well as the teachers and families who supported them throughout this creative journey.
