Piano by Candlelight


Eleven of McKinnon’s finest pianists hosted an evening of solo piano music in the maiden event ‘Piano by Candlelight’ on Tuesday 13th September. The auditioned performers represented all year levels from 7 to 12, performing an ambitious program of a wide range of music styles from the richness of the Baroque period to the lyrical melodies of modern pop. The main campus auditorium was transformed into a stunning concert venue, impressively styled by Mr Michael Birkett and fitting of the high standard of music it housed. Within this intimate atmosphere, the performers transported the audience of family and friends on a journey that only music can communicate through light & darkness, strength & fragility, joy & melancholy and tenderness & intensity. Truly an evening to be remembered.
