On Friday the 11th of March, three Blackheath and Thornburgh College students will travel to Cairns to participate in the State Honours Ensemble Program, organised by the Open Conservatorium of Griffiths University. This is the first time students from Blackheath and Thornburgh have been selected to participate in the program. Each year, the most outstanding secondary school musicians are nominated to represent their schools in the areas of Voice, Viola, Cello, Double Brass, Piccolo, Flute, Clarinet and Bass. Louise Black was selected in vocal soprano, Justin Todd for percussion and Stephen Pittman for trombone.
The State Honours Ensemble Program is a product of the partnership between schools, teachers and the Open Conservatorium. Students represent their school during this program and it culminates in a Gala Performance.
