Senior Music Concerts

Music Concert: Full Bloom
On May 29, our senior students put on an outstanding show for our annual year-end music concert. The concert featured Grade 7, Grade 8, and Senior Band, as well as the Grade 7 Choir, Chorista (Senior Choir), and Ragazza (Senior Vocal Jazz Ensemble).

The choirs and bands did an outstanding job! The auditorium was filled to capacity and our community enjoyed a wonderful evening filled with incredible musical and choral performances.

This evening was particularly special and meaningful for our Grade 12s as this was their final concert in their high school careers. They have come in for classes many early mornings over the last five years and have spent countless hours practising.

All our Yorkies radiated with joy as they performed and their families were extremely proud of their accomplishments. What a great evening it was! Watch the performances in the playlist below.

Music from the Underground
On April 23, The York House Music Department held an intimate evening of music featuring our jazz band, and Ragazza, our senior vocal jazz group. Watch the performances below.

Two incredible evenings of music! Congratulations to our Music Heads and thank you to Dawn Haylett, Benila Ninan, and Ellie Froese for their incredible dedication, hard work, and passion for our music program. Well done everyone!
