Performing Arts
From the Director of Co-Curricular Performing Arts
After 37 years of Service to Pymble Ladies’ College, I am finally retiring in July this year. 22 years of that time have been spent conducting the Pymble Chorale. All former members of Pymble Chorale from 1999 to 2021 are warmly invited to participate in One Last Sing with Mrs T before my retirement. We will be performing a very special work, Aurora, by Australian composer Luke Byrne, which was commissioned for the Centenary Celebrations of the College in 2016. There will be three rehearsals on Monday evenings in Term 2 and a soundcheck prior to the performance on Wednesday 22 June 2022. Please click here for more details and to complete an Expression of Interest Form if you would like to be involved. I do so hope that many of my wonderful ex-Chorale girls can join me for one last sing together! What special memories and experiences we have shared together over the years! It’s going to be great fun!
Second-hand pre-loved Instrument drive
Do you have any musical instruments in good condition, lying around at home that are no longer being used? Any brass, wind or string instruments, as well as keyboards, are wanted. We are starting a collection to be sent to the Northern Rivers Conservatorium in Lismore which was gutted in the recent and continuing floods. They have lost all their instruments and equipment and they are unable to deliver music tuition and their music programs to hundreds of students in the Northern Rivers region. Their loss has been devastating, so I do hope you can help in this small way if possible. Please contact musicadmin@pymblelc.nsw.edu.au if you have an instrument that may be of use, or deliver it to the Music Office.
Pymble Arts Competition (PAC) Week 2 Term 2, Have a Go!
PAC is a student-run initiative which showcases Pymble Performing Arts talent in a series of lunchtime concerts held in the Amphitheatre during Week 2 next term. All proceeds from the concert go to the Australian Children’s Music Foundation which supports music education and performing arts in disadvantaged schools. All students are encouraged to ‘have a go’ and get an act together, whether it be a drama skit, poetry reading, music performance, song and/or dance routine or whatever creative performance ideas they can come up with. Entry forms will be placed on the Portal for the students to sign up and all enquiries should be directed to the Performing Arts Prefects, Haley Spring hspring@pymblelc.nsw.edu.au or Annika Johnson ajohnson@pymblelc.nsw.edu.au. Encourage your daughter to ‘have a go’ and be part of the Arts!
