TerM 2 2023 - Music update

MHS Music Update - Term 2 2023 

After the successful workshop at the beginning of term our ensembles are developing well and working towards our next performances. 

Our choir took part in In Concert 2023 at Sydney Town Hall where they were part of a mass choir. 

They sang songs ranging from Carmina Burana to modern Australian choral works often accompanied by a full orchestra; an orchetsra made up of students from over 20 different schools called the NSW Public Schools Orchestra. A highlight was singing Mozart’s Ave Verum Corpus with the giant Town Hall organ.  Kate Miller-Heidke was the guest artist and a truly wonderful vocalist and it was a real thrill to sing in a choir of 600, with her leading us. Her singing is truly mesmerising.   These are great opportunities for our students.

We are furiously working away at finding development opportunities and experiences for our ensemble members.  Low numbers and interest makes it a challenge but we are determined to make something happen that the students can look forward to.

We are excited to be planning an event in Term 4 with our feeder primary schools.  More on that and how you can get involved soon.
