Music at Santa Sabina<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One respected translation of Matthew 11:28-30 suggests humankind will be happiest when able to find \u2018the unforced rhythms of grace\u2019. Across the world, many descriptions of wellbeing and peace have \u2018musical\u2019 references. As we find ourselves in Week 6 of Term 1, we are indeed settling into the gentle rhythms of 2025, and a hope-filled year is starting to emerge upon this rhythm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From our Senior students finding their daily and weekly rhythms of practice, study, and revision, to our ensembles with an international tour or prestigious concerts on the horizon, nestling into purpose and with a clear vision for the road ahead brings with it a comforting sense of both rhythm and grace that we trust to sustain us along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barkindji Songwoman Nancy Bates\u2019 visit last week inspired us with fresh purpose. Some staff, community, and student leaders were privileged to preview Nancy\u2019s new documentary SONGS INSIDE<\/a>, which presents us with such a powerful exemplar for ways that Music can bring hope and healing in our world. New songs and sounds are sparking, and we are looking forward to launching these works for our community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first of our Open Recital Series for Semester One will be held this Friday 14 March<\/strong> in Holyrood Adams and we look forward to the students from our Private Tuition program that have signed up to perform to present their latest work for families and friends. These recitals take place each term, and we are thrilled to offer these positive performance experiences for students who are developing confidence in their craft and aspects of presentation. Thank you to our specialist tutors who prepare our students so diligently for this opportunity. There is still opportunity for students to sign up to our remaining recitals in Semester 1 \u2013 Friday 4 April, Friday 9 May and Friday 30 May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
