The first two weeks of the term have seen musicians from Years 2 to 12 present some fantastic individual performances at two Twilight Concerts held in the Chapel. The audience also were treated to performances by Senza Ragazzi and Senior Choir.
Preparations are now well under way for the remaining Term 4 performance events for you to note in your diaries. For all ‘blue text’ events, look out for invitations on Parent Lounge to confirm you daughter’s involvement.

Individual and Ensemble Successes – Gold Coast Eisteddfod
Many of our talented musicians continued to perform individually as part of the Gold Coast Eisteddfod towards the end of last term and our Junior and Senior String Ensembles competed in the virtual competition with great success – both receiving 2nd placings. Whether they have received an award or not, the self-confidence gained from the experience is very valuable. If there are any individual results that we may not be aware of and are not listed below, please do not hesitate to advise the music department via music@sthildas.qld.edu.au
