Music Ensemble Recording Days

The journey for the Music Department across 2020 has certainly evolved into a very different landscape, seeing students and staff overcome many different challenges in redirecting music teaching and learning experiences in a variety of creative and innovative ways.

As important contributors to the artistic life of the Redlands community, we continue to be impressed with our young musician’s determination, resilience and focus during this time, and certainly want to take the opportunity to celebrate their efforts and acknowledge their superb contribution to the cocurricular life of the School.

In preparation for various End of Year Events and Presentations, Music groups and ensembles will participate in a variety of recording projects over the coming weeks to capture a reflection of student learning and engagement across this semester.

• Prep/Junior Schools – Monday 16 November (Dunnet Hall)
• Secondary School – Tuesday 17 November (Redlands Hall)
• Junior/Secondary Schools – Wednesday 18 November (Junior School Oval)

For a detailed overview of the groups and ensembles being recorded, please refer to the Recording Project Days letter communicated to all parents and students in Week 5.
