State Honours Ensembles Program – Southeast Queensland

We’re proud to share that several of our talented students participated in the recent State Honours Ensemble Program (SHEP) – South-East Queensland, hosted by the Queensland Conservatorium, Griffith University.

SHEP is a prestigious program that brings together exceptional young musicians from across the region to rehearse and perform under the guidance of leading conductors and educators. Students are selected based on their musical skill and teacher recommendation.

The program is an intensive weekend in Brisbane and includes intensive rehearsals, culminating in a public concert held at the Queensland Conservatorium. It’s a wonderful opportunity for students to extend their musicianship, collaborate with like-minded peers, and represent their school at a high level.

Congratulations to the following students: Christian D, Tristan D, Kalel H, Patrick H, Eamon H, Zachariah J, Declan M, Jake M, James P, Arlo S, Fraser S, Tobia T, Gregory V, Arthur W, Felix W, Harrison W, Jarvis Y.
