Woodwind students perform at Wagstaffe

Six woodwind students from the Central Coast Conservatorium of Music performed for an audience at Wagstaffe Hall on Sunday, October 28.

Each year the Bouddi Society donates a junior and senior woodwind scholarship to the Conservatorium.

The winner of the senior award was Alyse Faith who played the first movement of Christoph van Gluck's concerto in G for flute and piano to prolonged applause with her conservatorium tutor Lyn Brislan.

Winner of the junior award was Ellora Srivatsava who played Mozart's Andante in C Major, K315.

The Conservatorium also presents an encouragement award each year with this year's award presented to Charlotte Boyd for playing Mozart's Papageno Aria and Bailey's rhythmical Scooby Du Wup on her saxophone.

Other finalists were Taryn Shaw, Luca Kovak and Jasper Wand.

Central Coast Conservatorium principal Mr Patrick Brennan compered the event and tutors David Dallinger and Patrick Brislan assisted him in the judging of the winners.

Bouddi Society secretary Mr Mike Chitty, himself a mature age student of the Conservatorium, handed over a cheque for $1000 for next year's scholarship.
