Last Wednesday evening saw our Junior Choir give their grand performance as part of the mass choir in the Auckland Primary Principal’s Association Festival.
Twenty one of our students sang a diverse set of songs, ranging from a traditional African tune called ‘Siyahumba’, Bruckner’s ‘Locus Iste’ and Petula Clarke’s ‘Colour My World’. Jade Pereira sang as a soloist during the National Anthem and the evening was crowned by a rousing rendition of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’.
We can be very proud of all of our students, who sang with heart and energy, having spent most of the year learning the repertoire, many of which had difficult harmony parts.
The concert was a superb climax to what has been a very busy and successful year for our Music Department at Sancta Maria College – in which all of our year groups have performed in major events.
