Our mission is to provide a social, supportive and interactive network for mothers from all backgrounds that promotes connectedness and mental wellbeing in the local community through song and music.

JazZone

 

JazZone is a mixed intermediate Jazz-focussed choir from St Francis de Sales College. This choir is an introduction to singing in a Jazz-style as well as an introduction to singing in parts. With the COVID interruptions over the past couple of years, 2023 is the first time that many of our singers have been able to experience performing at large scale events, such as their performance this year at Generations in Jazz in the vocal ensemble division. Students performing this evening include a blend of experience and younger year levels, who together, make some beautiful music. It has become a highlight every year to be able to perform and share music on this night with the Mt Barker community.

Somethin’ Else.  The ensemble name, Somethin’ Else, is taken from a jazz album by alto saxophonist, Julian Cannonball Adderley, his only album on the Blue Note label, recorded and released in 1958, featuring Miles Davis on Trumpet. 
 
Somethin’ Else is an audition group, comprising of students from Years 10-12 under the direction of Mr Joel Ramirez and accompanied by Mr Anthony Janus.  These talented students work hard, mostly on acapella repertoire and more challenging works with complex harmonies.  Previously, the repertoire for this group has had a strong focus of Jazz, however this year, they have enjoyed branching out into other genres.
