Year 11 Music - Encore Excursion

On Monday, 4 March, the senior music class had the opportunity to be a part of the audience at Encore. Encore showcases the best HSC music performances from the previous year where students are chosen to perform at the Sydney Opera House to showcase their performances or compositions that they have worked on as a part of their HSC final exams. This opportunity inspired us as students to learn about stage presence, dynamics and how to captivate audiences through music. 

The variety of performances included the genres of classical, pop, jazz, rock and musical theatre as well as uncommon instruments like the Guzheng, Marimba and Accordion. During the show, there was a student who inspired us all. While playing a piece he composed on bass guitar he encountered some technical difficulties but this did not stop him. He continued to perform with a smile on his face in true showmanship. 

Mount Carmel's music class is full of talented students who have a range of musical talents that belong on the Encore stage. We are very excited for our opportunity in 2025!
