Year End Concert -2015

This year’ End of Year Concert which will be held on Week 8. The full details are:

Date: Friday, 7 November 2015

Time: 7.30 – 9.00 pm

Venue: Polish House (Syrena), Main Hall
1325 Stud Road, Rowville, VIC 3178
I would appreciate it if all parents can take note of this important date and time, so that as many students as possible will be able to perform on the day.  As with past formal concerts, each student will perform a solo piece and a duet piece with a partner.

 

Term 4 (5 Oct to 19 Dec 2015)

In term 4, apart from the year end concert, students will be involved in other programmes and activities.  Many of them are sitting for their practical examinations, and almost all are completing their 40-piece Challenge.  The composers of the Month series will also come to a close this term – with students learning about Bela Bartok, Duke Ellington and George Frederic Handel.
