– Artwork
– Programs from concerts, sports days and special assemblies

Munch with the Musos

To end the musical calendar, Tintern Grammar’s annual Friends of Music Munch with the Musos was held on Sunday 26 November. This concert celebrates the talents of musicians spanning the entire school – this year involving, among many other ensembles, both junior and senior school choirs, the intermediate and senior jazz bands, and a monumental performance of Karl Jenkin’s Palladio starring all string players from the ELC to year 12. Preparing for this finale item was an enormous effort lead by Head of Strings Tim Veldman, supported by other staff, and it paid off; performing alongside peers and younger string players was rewarding and exciting. As well as festive music, the event provided time for socialising, eating, reflection on the past year, and a familial atmosphere that wouldn’t be possible without the incredible organisational efforts of the parents on the Friends of Music committee. On behalf of the performers, audience, and all members of the music community, I thank them, and the amazing music staff who lead each ensemble, for supporting this event year after year.
