Music Performance and Composition winners

K-12 Music Performance & Composition Competition
Winners announced

On Monday 3 April 2023, the Showcase Concert for the finalists of the Music Competition was held in the Millie Phillips Theatre, with 37 items across Years K-12. The evening was a lovely celebration of the dedication and devotion to music that these students have demonstrated. Our adjudicators, Jason Noble and Naomi Crellin, gave valuable feedback to each student, elevating the evening into a learning experience as well as a high class concert.

This week, we were delighted to announce the winners of the Music Competition and present their prizes. The standard of performances and compositions was very high, and we received more composition entries this year. All entrants were awarded House Points and a varied and exceptional selection of finalists performed at our Finals Concert on Monday 3 April 2023 in front of an audience and an external adjudication panel.

Congratulations to all entrants, to the finalists and to our winners!
