Acting Director of Music | Mr Jan Hewerdine

Last Friday, the College held their Celebration of Excellence awards night at the Brisbane Convention Centre. Key components of this event were the musical items and the high production values that went into the presentation. As you watched the event unfold over the course of the evening, you heard the Celebration of Excellence Orchestra and Choir performing music ranging from Daft Punk and John Farnham to classical music.

The co-curricular program, coupled with Years 5 and 6 classroom Music, delivered a seamless massed ensemble rendition of Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana. Congratulations are in order also to the many vocal and instrumental soloists who featured. 

Music Practice Hall

Music Practice Hall continues apace on Mondays. This is held in the Music Centre, from 3.15-5pm. I ask that you actively support this so that we can roll it out fully next year and support the boys in attaining quality practice habits. The response from participants to date has been very positive, with students seeing an immediate improvement in their playing.
