Strings and Amplifiers
Strings and Amplifiers is our opportunity to showcase our Chamber Music groups as they prepare for the NZCT Chamber Music Contest and our growing contemporary musician rōpū, some of whom performed at the recent Rockquest Heats.
Students rehearsed diligently since term one, delivered captivating original songs and polished pop and rock covers, showcasing their dedication and the strength of our music programme.
Rockquest
Seven of our talented bands showcased their original songs at the recent Smokefree Rockquest regional heats, delivering confident and captivating performances. With the largest turnout of any central school, our students shone brightly, demonstrating incredible bravery and skill on stage while performing their original material.
Choral Showcase
On Wednesday 28th May, EGGS Music held its annual Choral Showcase - a joyous evening of song featuring our four choirs, joined by choirs from Auckland Grammar School. The choirs sang a recital of pieces each in preparation for the NZCF Big Sing Auckland Regional Festival on Thursday 12 June. The evening culminated in all singers joining together on stage to sing one final waiata. It was a great success, selling out very quickly, and we are grateful to all involved.
NZCT Chamber Music Contest
This year, five Chamber groups will perform in the annual NZCT Chamber Music Contest this week from Thursday 5 - Saturday 7 June. Small groups from Year 9-13, rehearse independently and are tutored to perform classical chamber music to adjudicators and audiences. A range of music is being performed from New Zealand composer, Gareth Farr, Joseph Haydn classical piano trio to the ‘Rocky’ theme song. We wish these groups well in their preparation for the contest.
