Mr Adeney will work with the students to prepare stunning repertoire to be presented at the annual Cathedral Concert on Wednesday 29 May at St Stephen’s Cathedral. Staff and students eagerly look forward to another year in partnership with Queensland Symphony Orchestra, where students who demonstrate strong musical talent will have the remarkable opportunity to perform with the Orchestra under the baton of Music Director, Alondra de la Parra. We look forward to continuing to share the fruits of these rich, broad and varied musical experiences with the whole Brisbane Girls Grammar School community throughout 2019.
