Director of Music | Acting Director, Mr Jan Hewerdine

A perusal of the calendar dates below will show that we have a number of engagements in Term 4. Please consult the College App for more details as they come to hand and please respond promptly to invites sent to the Parent Lounge.

In Week 1 on Thursday 11 October, we have our Chamber Music concert starting at 6pm in Waterford Place. This concert provides the opportunity for soloists and smaller ensembles to showcase in a more intimate concert setting. Families of participants, please sign on via Parent Lounge.

All musicians in Years 5 and 6 classroom Music, the Red and Black Concert Bands, Callan Red and Black Strings have all been asked to commit to memory the music to Carmina Burana. We ask families to encourage the boys to work on this at home. The results will be well worth the effort when we combine these musicians with the Celebration of Excellence Orchestra and Choir.

Talkin’ Jazz will be holding a performance workshop, for interested students, at the Brisbane Jazz Club during the September school holidays. This is always an exciting opportunity for those who have a strong grasp of their instrument and are interested in learning more about jazz. More information can be found by clicking here.

Please check the Terrace App and Parent Lounge regularly as this is where information regarding various events (see the list below) will now be published. As events are approved and posted to the Parent Lounge, you will be sent an email advising the name of the event, including the Event Memo, to check and you will be required to give a response regarding attendance. Event Memos will also be available through the Terrace App in Culture| Music.
