‘A SHOWCASE OF MUSIC’ – Sunday August 25th, 2019, at 2pm
Parents and Students,
One of the highlights of our year at Chatswood High School – ‘A Showcase of Music’, will take place on Sunday August 25th – an afternoon that will feature the CHS Orchestra, Senior Vocal Ensemble, Big Band and Wind Orchestra. It will be one of the final opportunities for our Year 12 students to participate in our ensembles.
Our Special Guests will be the Emma Pask Quartet. It is going to be a great afternoon of music!
For those people who have not heard Emma sing, whilst still a 16year old student at Kirrawee High School, she was discovered by Jazz Icon James Morrison. Emma then toured with James for a number of years, featuring in performances throughout Australia and around the world.
Emma has performed at Concerts at Chatswood High in the past and she will be an inspiration to all students who are fortunate to hear her sing. Emma will have her quartet which includes Kevin Hunt (piano), Phil Stack (bass) and Tim Firth (drums).
A highlight of the concert will be Emma singing three songs with our Big Band.
The Wind Orchestra will play a World Premier of a piece composed specifically for the band – ‘Chattie’s Wood’ by local composer Brendan Collins. This is going to be very exciting, with Brendan conducting the performance.
We are looking to produce a nice souvenir program, with all of the musicians listed, and also a video of the concert.
I am writing to you because we need an audience. Please support this afternoon!
Please tell your friends! This concert will be a great opportunity to advertise the very best of Chatswood High music! What a great way to introduce young students to our music program at Chatswood High. If you know of a young person getting ready to start High School in the future get them along to the concert!
Tickets are now on sale. Please go to the trybooking link https://www.trybooking.com/BDNUJ and purchase your tickets. VIP tickets are $40. (people purchasing VIP will have the best seats at the concert, and will enjoy a scrumptious afternoon tea, with other VIPs!), Adults $20, and Concession $10. Please note that all participating CHS Musicians are also required to purchase a ticket for $5.
We have already acquired $2,500 in Sponsorship towards the cost of the concert. I am hoping for further sponsorship. If you are aware of a local business who could support our music program, please let me know.
Please put this date in your diary, buy some tickets, and spread the word!
Yours Sincerely,
Gavin Staines OAM
Band Director
