Virtual Performances
Some of you may have watched the stunning virtual performance of the Chamber Strings—in collaboration with Mr Warwick Adeney, concertmaster of Queensland Symphony Orchestra—directed by Mr Michael Patterson as part of the School’s 2020 Virtual Cathedral Concert last Friday.
This week, the Symphonic Winds are proud to present a beautiful virtual performance, Celtic Carol, directed by Ms Laurinda Davidson. We hope you enjoy the performance.
2020 Instrumental and Vocal Competitions
The 2020 Instrumental and Vocal Competitions took place over the weekend with more than 220 girls participating in nine different competitions via video submissions. The time and effort put into each performance was enormous and we are proud of all girls who entered the competitions. I am pleased to share the 2020 results with you below.
The winning performances were presented to students today as part of the Arts Fest celebrations. The R.T. and A.E. Jefferies Bursary winner will be announced next week.
