29 Apr - Performing Ensemble Home From Malaysia

Ens in Malaysia

Pictured squinting into the hot Malaysian sunshine are the 46 students and 8 staff who travelled to Kuala Lumpur during their holidays. In an exhausting 8 days they played 8 shows at three different International Schools in KL, and participated in workshops with their hosts, Mont' Kiara International School.

The group wowed the audiences everywhere they went, with standing ovations at a number of the 8 shows. They also managed some sight seeing and culturally diverse activities during the tour.

Matt Tarrant from Bulli HS proudly represented the group, playing the Last Post at the Anzac Day Dawn Service In Kuala Lumpur organised by the New Zealand High Commission of Malaysia for the joint Australia New Zealand forces.

All our Ensemblers were wonderful ambassadors for their schools and our Region.

You can find photos of the performances by clicking here.
