MUSIC NEWS
Photos from the Burnside High visit to Chisnallwood this week. They brought their jazz Big Band, members of Bel Canto (one of their 6 choirs), one of their chamber groups and a singer/songwriter and talked to us about their Special Music Programme. It was great to see so many ex-Chisnallwood students performing with them at such a high level. This included students who have just been accepted into the NZYouthJazzOrchestra 2015 - Matt Howes on guitar, Hamish Smith on bass, Ryan Hall on sax and Ella Dunbar-Wilcox on vocals. Congratulations to these students. The Burnside Open Day is May 19th 7-9pm and information about the music programme is available at the Chisnallwood music office.
