The National Suzuki Concert took place on 20 May at the Linder Auditorium. This concert was a wonderful opportunity for violin and cello students who study the Suzuki Method to showcase the pieces on which they have worked so hard during the year. Six St Mary’s violin players took part. Theaya Palanee, Chiwoneso Mupita, Leah Govender, Kimaya Shah-Naidoo, Emma Frahm-Arp and Caelen Buchanan spent the Saturday morning practising and then played in the concert on the Sunday morning. There were 128 violinists on the stage by the end of the concert ranging in ages from four years to over 40. All the girls said that the most exciting part of the weekend was playing with so many other people. What a wonderful musical experience for everyone.
