COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS – GESHER

Amazing musical talent and sunshine galore

We couldn’t have asked for better weather.

Children, parents and grandparents came to School last Sunday afternoon armed with picnic rugs and chairs, to sit on The Hill and listen to the talents of so many musicians in our School community – student, staff and alumni jazz ensembles entertained the audience for a three full hours – such delight!  Vocalist Genevieve Goldman (Year 11) accompanied by mum Michelle on keyboard and dad David on guitar was the opening act and oh boy, did she wow the audience! 

There are so many people to thank for all their efforts in making Jazz on the Hill 2017 such a fabulous event:

• David Gwilliam, Head of Music and ALL the musicians – student ensembles, staff jazz band and 33 Degrees

• Teachers, administration and maintenance staff and student volunteers who helped set-up, man and supervise the many activities provided for primary-aged students, including Lego Robotics, Dodge ball, cartooning workshop, “Puppetoon” – a puppet show, a Science extravaganza show and Razzle Dazzle arts & craft.

• Our Year 11 Hospitality students who, together with Lara Ephron, Head of D&T and Claudia Bloom, prepared and sold some of the yummiest food!

 L to R: Georgia Linetsky, Daniella Gold, Madeleine Weinstein, Kiara Rosen-Tal, Gal Cohen Kvatinsky, Lara Ephron, Amber Sawicki, Liron Smith, Shai Stern and Romy Berson

If you need a barista for an event, please consider alumnus Justin Moddel (Class of 2001) – Mugg Shot Coffee.  Thank you Justin for being our barista extraordinaire for the afternoon.
