Redlands EP Project

Earlier this year, the Music Department announced the second instalment of the Redlands Music Composition Competition, in recognising the creative talents of students who compose their own music. This creative opportunity was designed for any aspiring young composer in Yrs 7-12 who is currently enrolled in the either the Academic Music program, the Cocurricular Music Ensembles program or the Extra Subjects program. As guest collaborator for the 2019 EP Project we are pleased to announce that our mentor will be Redlander (2013) and Sydney Conservatorium Graduate (Composition) Mr Solomon Frank.

The Music Department is pleased to announce that the following student compositions have been selected to feature on the 2020 Redlands EP:

Included on the Redlands EP will be the track I Won’t Forget Your Name composed by PAK (Alisha Karunagaran and Poppi Kent) as the title track, along with a Curriculum collaboration Two Roads composed by Thomas Wightwick and Mrs Amy Richardson.

Redlands Vocal Competition

On Monday evening, the Redlands Vocal Competition was held in the Edwards Auditorium, featuring Yrs 7-12 finalists who presented a diverse range of vocal repertoire in creating an outstanding evening of musical performances. The skills of students in all divisions was exceptional and is a credit to the singing ability of each finalist and the guidance provided by their vocal tutors. Particular thanks to Mr Zi-Hao Li and Mr Damon Wade for their exceptional accompaniment of the finalists and in supporting the students throughout rehearsals leading into the competition. Thank you to the Music Department for support of this annual competition, with auditions managed by Ms Arienne Brodie and Mr Darren Kuilenburg. We would like to thank our special guest Ms Sarah McGarry, who presented all finalists with certificates and awarded the place-getters with medallions and trophies.

The Music Department would like to acknowledge the developing singing of all students who auditioned for the 2019 Vocal Competition and special thanks to the finalists who all performed brilliantly at the event.
