Musical Mastery at the Music Extravaganza

On 21 November, the Boys’ School was alive with the sound of music as students from Year 3 to 8 showcased their talent at the annual Music Extravaganza. With every music ensemble performing a piece from their years repertoire, the evening offered a glimpse into the diversity and depth of our school’s music program.

The stirring music of our Pipe Band opened the night, followed by the allcomers choir –Saint Kentigern Singers – who brought vibrancy to the evening with Waka Waka and Cold Snap. 

As the night continued, highlights included the Jazz Combo’s dynamic Earth, Wind and Fire Dance Mix and the String Orchestra’s enchanting performances of Harry Potter and Voyager, while the Performers’ Choir brought energy with Oye and Rhythm of Life.

The Recorder Consort melted everyone in the audience with their renditions of Shortnin’ Bread and Legend. The youngest group of the night were a picture of where every musician starts, and the bright future of our music program.

A standout moment came when Ryan Yeh, winner of the Solo Music Competition, mesmerised the audience with Lamentatio by Giovanni Sollima. His performance, combining cello and vocals, left everyone in awe of his artistry.

The evening concluded with a rousing, all-in performance of Wake Me Up by Avicii, uniting over a hundred musicians and vocalists.

Congratulations to all the performers and a heartfelt thank you to Head of Music Georgina Jarvis and her team of staff and itinerant teachers for creating such a memorable evening.
