On Friday 13th of September, 25 of our students performed on stage at the Adelaide Festival Theatre as part of the Public Primary Schools Festival of Music.
The Primary Schools Festival of Music is an iconic South Australian tradition, we engage our students in artistic excellence, cultural diversity and social inclusion through performance in Music and the Arts.
The Festival of Music concerts feature Year 5 and 6 students singing together in a massed choir of just over 300 students.
This year Robyn Habel and Adam Page were commissioned to compose a set of four songs entitled “State of the Arts”. The audience participation was fun and something very different.
During the concerts there were several Guest Artists from public primary and secondary schools, other choir items that presented different musical genre, and two pieces that specifically showcased the talents of the orchestra.
This year Festival of Music included the ABBA song ‘Waterloo’, to mark 50 years since ABBA had won Eurovision with that song.
It was a spectacular event that our students enjoyed being a part of.
They should all be extremely proud of the effort and energy they put in to this year’s performance.
