Senior Farewell Concert

The Senior Farewell Concert has become a significant event in the Music Department calendar. This concert is a meaningful way to acknowledge the contribution to Newington of our Year 12 musicians. Our five senior ensembles, the Symphony Orchestra, Symphonic Winds, the College Choir, Stage Band and Chamber Strings, will each perform 15-20 minutes of repertoire in our most ‘traditional’ concert setting of the year.

Repertoire will include movements from Haydn’s Farewell and Dvorak’s 8th Symphonies, the first movement of Johan de Meij’s Lord of the Rings, Alfred Reed’s El Camino Real, the Artie Shaw Clarinet Concerto, Elgar’s Serenade for Strings and a mixed bag of gospel, pop and folk choral works.

If you enjoy being inspired by the amazing talent of our most advanced ensemble musicians, this is a concert not to be missed
