Term 3 is always a busy one for the music department as different Instrumental Music Teachers organise soirees and VCE students get very close to their final performance assessments in October.
Recently Matt Welch ran a vocal soiree at each of our junior campuses, where each of his voice students sang solo or in a small ensemble. Both events also featured the campus junior choirs.
On Wednesday September 9, Kinnear campus was treated to a senior voice soiree, led by our senior voice teacher, Piri Jakab von Szengelice.
The strings put on a fabulous performance at their soiree with 30 minutes of ensemble music featuring our string orchestra and six singers.
In the last week of term on Monday September 14 and Tuesday September 15 there were two jam packed evenings for the VCE Performing Arts Showcase. Featuring Dance, Theatre Studies and Music students from year 12, this was a chance to see and hear the results (so far) of the year’s work in preparing for externally assessed performance exams held in October.
Not so far into term 4 will be the second Kindred Studios Bands Night on October 12 and the Spring Ensembles Concert on Wednesday October 28 featuring all of our major music ensembles. Before the ensembles concert the junior woodwind, brass and percussion students will present a soiree at Pilgrim campus on Wednesday October 21.
