The Waverley College Music Department started off Term 4 with a stunning Brass Music Recital on Thursday, 17 October. Held in the Recital Room of the Performing Arts Centre, the event showcased the exceptional talents of the College’s young musicians.
A diverse and appreciative audience, including parents, staff, and students, enjoyed an evening of captivating brass music. The recital featured a variety of performances from soloists and duos to the Waverley College Brass Ensemble.
Students under the guidance of Ms Cindy Sims, Mr William Endicott, and Mr Timothy Walsh delighted the audience with a beautiful selection of pieces, ranging from Baroque to contemporary compositions.
One particular highlight of the evening was the performance of “Abendsegen” from Engelbert Humperdinck’s opera, “Hansel and Gretel,” by Thomas and Max Sheehy. Their rendition of this classic piece was both moving and inspiring.
The Music Department would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Mr Thomas Azoury for his exceptional accompaniment of all the soloists and the duo. His musical expertise and support was invaluable to the success of the recital.
The evening concluded on a triumphant note with the performance of “The Prince of Denmark,” a composition by Jeremiah Clarke, organist at St Paul’s Cathedral, dating back to 1700. This timeless piece provided a fitting end to a truly memorable evening of brass music.
The Brass Music Recital was a testament to the dedication and talent of the Waverley College Music Department’s students. The event showcased the versatility and beauty of brass instruments, leaving the audience inspired and entertained.
