Chopin Piano Showcase

Wonderful performances

Over 30 students from Years 2 through to Year 11 performed in our recent Chopin Piano Showcase, celebrating the 175th anniversary of this influential Polish composer.

Special guest, Australian pianist Dr Leigh Harrold spoke to the boys about Chopin’s immense legacy to the art form, as well as performing one of Chopin’s lesser known Mazurkas for us.

Dr Harrold chose six boys who will have the opportunity to workshop their pieces in a masterclass setting in a few weeks.

Congratulations to Thomas Chen (Year 8), Raph Contessotto (Year 8), Thomas Dunne (Year 11), James Rodriguez (Year 9), Eric G and Oscar X (both Year 4).

Well done to all the boys involved and thank you to our families and Friends of Music for supporting this wonderful event.
