Our Senior students put on two fantastic shows for our annual winter music concerts. There was an eclectic mix of pieces, both traditional and contemporary. The Junior ensembles performed on Tuesday, November 24th, and the Senior ensembles followed the next night, on the 25th. All our ensembles had a chance to showcase, including select soloists.
Watch the highlights from the Senior Ensemble Night, and see the photo slideshow below:
Grades 3 and 4 participated in a high-energy African drumming workshop with visiting musician Fana Soro.
Part of the French program is to learn about French-speaking countries around the world. This workshop allowed the girls to use French to communicate with someone from another country, while learning how to play the “djembe”, West Africa’s most popular drum. Fana also shared his call and response songs in his mother tongue of Senoufo.
