String players from across the College gathered at the Glen Waverley campus for a whole day workshop, sponsored by The Society for the Arts, with a rock violinist Mark Wood, who has performed with such greats as Billy Joel, Celine Dion, and Paul McCartney. He is a performer, inventor, Emmy award winning composer and inspiring music educator, and the rock strings concert, performed by a combined string orchestra at the end of the day, really “wowed” the audience of parents.
At Deakin Edge, Federation Square, the Senior Symphonic Wind Ensemble, String Orchestra and Festival Orchestra farewelled our Year 12 instrumentalists with a concert, which included a performance of the Prokofiev piano concerto, with Ann Nguyen as soloist.
