Half sang in the choir, while the other half played in the chamber orchestra. During our rehearsals for the IGSA Choral Festival, we made new friends from different schools in Sydney while improving our sight reading skills and learning helpful singing techniques. The concert at the end of three full days of rehearsing felt very rewarding and was an amazing experience. We also listened to the Choir of St James\u2019 King Street perform, which was extremely enjoyable. We are excited to perform again in a few weeks! In the orchestra, we met members of the Muffat Collective, chamber musicians specialising in historically informed performances. We learnt about the techniques and style of baroque music. The strings were able to experiment with playing with baroque bows that are accurate to the baroque time period. We are glad we could participate in this event and value this experience greatly. We are so grateful and privileged to have worked with these amazing experts, as it has allowed us to look into baroque music more deeply. It was fun and exciting, and we are all looking forward to the performance of these pieces in early September. <em>Eloise Dahm Year 10 <\/em><em>(Violin)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On 12-14 of August, Santa Sabina College was represented in the IGSA Choral Festival. 10 girls from the College participated in the concert and 15 other independent girl schools. It was an amazing experience as it required all the girls to join together and sing harmoniously for the concert after 2 days of rehearsals. It was directed by Warren Trevelyan-Jones, and the concert\u2019s atmosphere was pleasant and melodic. It was a great honour and privilege to represent our College, Santa Sabina, among the other schools. We sang various pieces, strengthening our sight reading skills and increasing our musical knowledge. It is one of the most memorable experiences I\u2019ve been through, and I thank Mr Chung for this great opportunity. <em>Grace Benedict Year 9 (Soprano)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last weekend, 10 girls from Santa Sabina combined with other schools for a weekend of rehearsals, tutorials and performances at Queenwood School. We played a great repertoire alongside professional musicians from the Muffat Collective. Even though I play the viola, I sat right next to the harpsichord, and I was fascinated by the harpsichord! We were even given real baroque bows to play on. They\u2019re rare, and I never used one before&nbsp; &#8211; I\u2019m gonna get one for Christmas. I like playing with professional musicians, it shows you what your future can be if you practice hard and never quit. At lunchtime, the Santa Sabina girls would sneak out and relax at Balmoral Beach. I made friends from Years 7, 8, 9 and 10. Music lets you meet people with something in common, and you all need to work together fast to perform a concert. We have another performance at St James church on Father\u2019s Day &#8211; I\u2019m sure we\u2019ll play well! <em>Estelle Jacono Year 5 (Viola)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2022\/08\/image0-3.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2022\/08\/image0-3-1024x864.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3418\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><br>Year 12 HSC Music Recital<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Congratulations to our Music 1 and Music 2 HSC musicians who performed magnificently to an enthusiastic audience of staff, family and friends last Friday in Holyrood.
