John XXIII College musicians take the city by storm

Concerts at One, St George's Cathedral

Wonderful to bring John XXIII College's musicians into the heart of the city last week, performing as part of St George's Cathedral's Concerts at One series.

Chamber Choir, Barbershop, Senior Voices, Senior Clarinet Ensemble, Senior String Quartet, Senior Saxophone Ensemble, Year 10 Cello Trio, Year 9 Flute Duo and our ATAR Soloists all took to the stage, filling the Cathedral with beautiful music for a lunchtime audience of staff, students, families and city visitors.

Thank you to St George's Cathedral for hosting us, and to our talented students and staff for such a memorable performance.

JTC Students Light Up The Ellington

Days later, some of our most talented musicians took the stage at The Ellington Jazz Club for a night of standards, swing and soul.

Across two sets, students showed off serious range, from the tight harmonies of Barbershop and Senior Voices, to the Senior Saxophone Ensemble's Motown groove, solo performances from Phoebe and Alina, and the Senior String Quartet's take on 'El Tango de Roxane.' The Small Combo brought the jazz standards (Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock), while our Junior Swing Band and Swing Band closed the night out with everything from 'Twist and Shout' to Chick Corea's 'Spain.'

A brilliant showcase of the depth of talent in our music program, huge congratulations to every student who performed, and thank you to our music staff for getting them stage-ready.
