Tintern Music Staff Feature in Performance with Global Superstar
Three of our music staff were very privileged to have the opportunity to perform alongside world-renowned operatic tenor, Andrea Bocelli recently. Tim Veldman (Head of Strings), Josiah Kop (French Horn Teacher), and Simon Baldwin (Trombone and Low Brass Teacher) all had prominent roles in the orchestra performing in Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena, Sydney’s Qudos Arena, and at an enormous, purpose-built outdoor venue in the Hunter Valley. Andrea Bocelli, who is the biggest selling classical artist in history, is touring Australia with his very talented family, who also performed at the events. The line-up was additionally augmented by Australian superstars, Delta Goodrem and Natalie Imbruglia, and operatic stars, Amy Manford and Stacey Alleaume. We are fortunate to have music teachers on staff who are active performers at this elite level and who are keen to share this expertise and knowledge of the stage with our developing musicians.

Year 8 Concert
As part of their core curricular music studies, Year 8 students experience all of the challenges of rehearsal, backstage and onstage preparation associated with presenting a live concert for an appreciative audience.
Yesterday students in Years 8A and 8D presented a wide-ranging program of solos, duets, small group and full class ensemble performances for the students in Year 7. The full class ensemble work was centered around performances of Hungarian folk tunes and rehearsals of these were initiated during the Year 8 World Music focus on Hungarian music in Term 3. Congratulations to all performers today on your excellent poise and performances.
