Dear Parents,
Santa Sabina College will be presenting a concert titled “In Harmony” at The
Sydney Town Hall on Monday 15 June (7:30pm). This concert will draw students
from across The College together to perform. As has been previously detailed in
the Veritas Voice, the following Del Monte students will be performing in this
concert:
Year 4, Year 5 and The Siena Singers
As part of the concert, the students will be performing a wide range of music that
celebrates the wonderful cultural diversity of our College and community. Students
have been working hard exploring and preparing the repertoire as part of their
Music Curriculum and choir rehearsals and as such, this is a compulsory event for
all students in The Siena Singers, Years 4 and 5. This will be a wonderful
opportunity for your child and we look forward to creating a unique and memorable
concert that captures the spirit of Santa Sabina College.
