Term 1 Ensemble Concert: Curtain Rises after eight months of no concerts!

Last night, after eight months of COVID-19 restrictions, more than 300 students from the Secondary School participated in the Term 1 Ensemble Concert.

The concert was a jubilant occasion to celebrate the return of ensemble music at Pymble. Bands, choirs and strings entertained members with many party hits from Handel to Proud Mary. The concert was an uplifting showcase of all the College’s amazing musicians.

A special note of thanks must go to the Pymble Music staff for their time and talents. We look forward to welcoming you to the Term 2 Ensemble Concert ‘Thank you for the Music’ on Wednesday 22 June, where we will farewell the 2022 Year 12 Music students.
