It was lovely to see some familiar faces, as well as meeting some new parents and grandparents during the Student Led Conferences. As I explained, our boys in Pre-Primary to Year 4 will be participating in a Musica Viva incursion and as such, our performing arts lessons will focus on getting prepared for the performance. This year, we have a group called Fiddlesticks coming to inspire us. Everyone is welcome to attend, so please note 11:30am on Monday 17 October in your diaries. Fiddlesticks is a magical trio of guitar, violin and cello, providing a perfect introduction to chamber music. Chamber music is often described as a conversation between instruments, and Fiddlesticks speak to students using music they may already recognise. With a repertoire spanning tango, contemporary and familiar classics, this performance will showcase the versatility of instruments in the string family. I hope you'll be able to join us.
