What a joy it was to welcome the Waldorf Wayfarers to Glenaeon on our first day back of term! Their presence brought a fresh energy, with new and beautiful music pouring out of both our music rooms all day.

It was particularly special to see the engagement and confidence of the students as they participated in the workshops, appreciating the rare opportunity to immerse themselves in rich musical experiences. From four part harmony accompanied by body percussion in Year 10, to a full ‘performance’ of Carl Jenkin’s Adiemus including voice, recorder, percussion and cello in Class 5 and 6, to the Glenaeon Touring Choir learning an immersive Australian choral work that gives the audience the feeling of being in a rainforest. The day was filled with music making, from the playful to the profound.

The Wayfarers themselves were blown away by the beauty of the Glenaeon campus and were impressed by the level of musicality and the engagement of our students.

It was wonderful to see so many of the Glenaeon community at their concert in the evening as well. All will agree that it was an evening to remember. A heartfelt thank you to the Wayfarers for bringing their unique spirit musical offerings to Glenaeon. We hope to cross paths again soon!
