King’s Instrumental Music Department has celebrated a busy and rewarding Eisteddfod season, with 420 students across 17 ensembles performing over six weeks at the Quota Beenleigh and Gold Coast Eisteddfodau.
Our young musicians prepared diligently, performed confidently and represented themselves and King’s to an exemplary standard. These competitions provide invaluable opportunities to develop musicianship and performance experience while creating lasting memories.
