Annual MWSC Soiree’s
Last week, over 80 music students performed as soloists and in small groups as part of the annual soiree concerts. These performances featured students from Year 7-12, from beginners to advanced students, on a large variety of instruments. Run by music staff and our group of student music leaders, these were great concerts to begin the year.
Congratulations to all of our performers.
Alumni Band
2024 sees an exciting new addition to MWSC Music. An alumni band made up of 16 students who attended the college between 2016-2023. The group forms a classic big band and rehearses once a month. A group like this is a testament to the success and musical dedication of our past students. We look forward to performing for the college community throughout the year.
Congratulations Joseph Yu
On February 20 to 29, Mr Joseph Yu, our Head of Brass, and his wife Jennifer, Associate Organist of Scots’ Church Melbourne, traveled to the Philippines to perform at the 49th International Bamboo Organ Festival, which also celebrated the 200th anniversary of the installation of the instrument.
The organ and trombone duo performed first on the unique Bamboo Organ, a Spanish Baroque style instrument built in 1824 by Father Diego Cera at St. Joseph’s Parish Church, then at the Johann Trummer Auditorium in Las Piñas on February 23, before flying down to Bohol to perform with the internationally renowned Loboc Children’s at the Church of Our Lady of Immaculate Conception in Baclayon. Congratulations Joseph and Jennifer.
