On Monday 4 March, Year 11 and Year 12 Music attended Encore.  Encore is a concert of excellence from the 2023 Higher School Certificate. Our senior Music students were privileged to see some incredible performances on a wide variety of instruments and from a broad range of genres. Our students represented the College beautifully in their behaviour and uniform, and they showed real appreciation for the opportunity to attend this concert. For some students, it was their first time inside the Opera House. Here are some student reflections:

Cara D - the flute/bassoon/clarinet … the way they interacted made the piece so intriguing … my eyes were glued to how they moved with the piece. 

Stratos D - I really enjoyed the drum performance with the sound effect board - I thought it was very creative and unique, and was executed very well.

Petar O - My favourite item of today was ‘The Dance of Eternity’ by Dream Theater … Why? I love Dream Theater and progressive heavy metal as a genre… It makes me want to buy a 7 string guitar and learn it from start to finish, a truly inspiring item for me…

Matthew P - My favourite piece was the Gershwin clarinet. It was a very cool clarinet piece. The whole concert was great. I also enjoyed the choir that sang Psalm 6:2-4.

Ellaria R  - my favourite piece was ‘Manhattan’… her range was so beautiful and her voice was so clear and smooth.
