Music Competition
Congratulations to the finalists for the Emanuel Music Performance and Composition Competition. We are looking forward to the concert for family and friends. The quality and variety of entries was fantastic – what a very musical and creative bunch of students we have at Emanuel School.
Emanuel Big Band performance at assembly
Mazal tov to the Emanuel Big Band who performed Do Whatcha Wanna by Rebirth Brass Band at assembly on Tuesday morning. This was a super stylish and finessed performance which was great fun to listen to and a tribute to their hard work, with great solos by Max Salamon and Matthew Lowy under the expert direction of their conductor Mr Eamon Penner-Dilworth.
Thanks to Mr Owen, Ms Grieve and Mr Farrugia who filled in for absent students at the last minute.
