Wicked!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Elective Music students are looking forward to attending the evening performance of Wicked<\/em> on Wednesday September 20 at the Lyric Theatre.

ARCO<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Elective and ensemble music students attended the final concert in the Australian Romantic and Classical Orchestra (ARCO) Voyage of Musical Discovery Concert series on Monday 7 August at the City Recital Hall. As one of Santa Sabina’s esteemed professional partners ARCO\u2019s Voyage of Musical Discovery provides students with a unique concert series, with the final concert focusing on Musical Identities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Student reviews:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n

We were given the wonderful opportunity to attend the Voyage of Music Discovery concert series hosted by ARCO (Australian Romantic & Classical Orchestra). This is a set of 3 concerts which dives into musical worlds and explains how dynamics, instrumentation, and pitch combine to create an atmosphere. These concerts have allowed us to understand the thought process behind some composers and how the piece came to be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a fun learning experience that enabled us to learn about the process of composing and the beauty of uniting instruments together. <\/p>\nCelina Nguyen Year 9 Elective Music<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The ARCO concert revealed an intriguing side of classical music which I personally have not experienced before. The large orchestra fascinated me, as different instrument players worked harmoniously together. The concert also explored the background of these composers through a narrated guide. Overall, it\u2019s a great chance to experience the difference of classical music.<\/p>\nChristie Huang Year 9 Elective Music <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

IB HL Recital<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On Friday 11 August, the Year 12 IB Music students premiered their ‘Contemporary Music Maker’ projects and ‘Presenting Music’ performances, showcasing a selection of styles from Blues, Looping, to EDM composition and improvisations. The girls deserve a huge congratulations for their wonderful performance and exciting compositions! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

HSC Recital<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We had a wonderful turn out to the Year 11 and 12 HSC recital on Thursday night. Year 11 used this opportunity to practise for their performance assessment later in the term. This was Year 12\u2019s final recital before their external HSC performance examinations happening in September. We wish them the best of luck! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Student Review<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n

The Year 11 and 12 HSC music recital was a wonderful way for HSC students to exhibit all the talent and hardwork that goes into preparing their performance repertoire to their family and friends. It was also a great way for the students to practise performing in a friendly and welcoming environment. These students performed a wide range of repertoire from Debussy to Duke Ellington showcasing the diversity of their talents through music. Their renditions of their chosen pieces were all performed to an extremely high level and were laced with musicality and expression. Any audience member could see the hard work and passion that these students feel towards this subject and it was wonderful to watch the next generation of musicians perform amazingly.<\/p>\nAntonia Touma
