St Peters Music Ensembles Excel at Queensland Youth Music Awards
St Peters Band and String Ensembles competed in the 2021 Queensland Youth Music Awards (QYMAs) and walked away with outstanding results.




DAVID DEACON
The QYMAs draw ensembles from all over Queensland to compete in a supportive and collaborative environment. The incredibly high scores received by St Peters Senior Band and String Ensembles clearly shows the strength and success of our cocurricular Music Program.
Symphonic Winds competed in the Senior Secondary Concert Band section and took out first prize with a score of 98/100. Adjudicator, Lieutenant Colonel Patrick Pickett, was impressed with the ensembles' stunning performance, commenting on the exceptional level of individual and ensemble skills.
St Peters Chamber Soloists (Strings) delivered an impressive and inspiring performance too, being awarded the first ever perfect score of 100/100 by adjudicator Associate Professor, Adam Chalabi, from the University of Queensland Music Department.
Thank you to our talented Music students who practised hard to ensure they performed at their best for this competition. It was not only their precision and physical energy while performing but their extremely mature musical expression that captivated their audience.
