Year 3 Wombat Stew
n All the Year 3 boys gave a magnificent performance of the Strings Scheme music they’ve been working on this year to an enthusiastic audience of parents and staff. The concert began with the more advanced players giving a very professional sounding rendition of The Stork Song , a Hungarian folk tune, arranged as a chamber music piece by Lazlo Rossa. Next, we were treated to a number of solos. But then came the main event…Wombat Stew. All the boys in Year 3 played in this, showing what they’ve learnt this year on the violin, viola, cello or double bass. Every single boy played in at least nine of the twelve musical numbers involved in this music drama. Underpinning their playing, the Visiting Music Teachers accompanied the boys on their own instruments, enabling the boys to hear the stringed instrument sonorities played at a professional level alongside their performances. To cap it all, our very own Director of Drama, Mr Peter Jolly, narrated the story with his own inimitable flair and panache, and brilliantly brought the drama to life. The whole concert was totally engaging and fun! Congratulations to all the boys involved for their very wonderful Wombat Stew Extravaganza Performance.
