FESTIVAL OF MUSIC 2019
Coromandel Valley PSMF Choir 2019
On Friday 13th September, 15 of our students performed on stage at the Adelaide Festival Theatre as part of the Public Primary Schools’ Festival of Music.
What a fantastic performance it was! Our Coromandel Valley students shone like stars in their bright colours. Congratulations on an entertaining and high quality night of entertainment.
Our school was also represented by Sophie M who was selected through audition process to perform a solo to ‘When I grow up’ from Matilda the musical. Well done Sophie on your beautiful singing and confidence bravery to sing on your own in front of a packed Festival Theatre audience.
The Primary Schools Festival of Music, an official state icon, is a public school-based music education program which is a collaboration between the Department for Education and the SAPPS Music Society, which gives all SA public primary students the opportunity to perform at a prestigious venue.
The commissioned work was entitled “Dear Pen Pal” which was a series of songs composed by local musician Robyn Habel about Adelaide’s sister cities and having a pen pal. The concert ended with a spectacular sea of colour.
During the concerts there were a number of Guest Artists from public primary and secondary schools, other choir items that presented different musical genre, and two pieces that specifically showcased the talents of the orchestra.
It was a spectacular event that our students enjoyed being a part of.
I would encourage any students from years five to seven, who are passionate about singing, acting, dancing and instrumental playing to become involved in the Festival of music in 2020! For more information, please see Stacey or email stacey.stutterd841@schools.sa.edu.au
