Highlights of Open Day, 2011


On Sunday, 20th March, 2011 students and staff performed for one another, for their families and interested community members in a variety of ensembles, including groups of recorders, guitars and flutes.

The afternoon concert featured piano solos from Heming Luo, Courtney, Luke and Timothy Powell, flute solos from Bethany Windsor and Elne Le Roux, a Scarlatti guitar sonata played by Tim Burrey and Larissa Beer singing Hopelessly Devoted to You.

The Conservatorium executive director, Fiona Thompson accompanied performers.

At the end of the day, we enjoyed a relaxed staff soirée which featured some great guitar playing from Aaron Hopper and Mark McLaughlin, a Bach flute solo from Prem Love, Oliver Harris' entertaining tuba variations on Incy Wincy Spider and this performance of a Schubert Impromptu by piano teacher, Elena Day-Hakker.
