HICES Music Festival

Congratulations to our High School students who attended the HICES combined schools Music Festival at Stanwell Tops this week. This festival is a wonderful opportunity for our students to join with other students from across NSW to learn from expert conductors and perform in a major concert at Sydney Town Hall.

Amber Langman (Year 8) sang in the Vocal Ensemble, Talia Blackman (Year 8) performed in the Concert Band and Aron Jaffe (Year 10) performed in the Symphonic Winds. Rebekah Goldsworthy performed in the String Orchestra while Matthew Doust (Year 10) and Nathaniel Spielman (Year 8) both performed in the Symphony Orchestra. All participants sang in the Massed Choir.

Danny Burley attended the camp with our students and was the accompanist for the Honour Choir and the Massed Choir.  We thank him very much for his support of the students while at the Festival.  All students were required to qualify for participation through an audition process and they are to be commended for their achievement.
