Spring Showcase
Spring Showcase
By Mrs Kirsten Knight, Head of Co-Curricular Music
The Spring Showcase was the perfect way to round out a busy term of musical performances, featuring some of our most advanced groups in various sections of the music department.
Big Band opened the concert with a polished and lively rendition of Blues in the Closet, followed by Vivace, our more junior auditioned choir, which confidently performed 3 songs. Montgomery Guitar Ensemble performed next with a beautiful version of Tears in Heaven. Our senior auditioned choir, Camerata, sang 2 songs under the capable direction of our new Director of Voice, Ms Kimberley Steele.
Corelli Chamber String Orchestra played two movements from the Suite from Carmen, followed by an extremely fast rendition of Irish Washerwoman. The Bernstein Symphonic Wind Orchestra finished the night with Gandalf from Johan de Meij’s challenging Symphony No.1.
My thanks go to all our conductors, accompanists and managers, as well as the dedicated students of the Media Crew. Congratulations to all the musicians involved.
