Wow! What a concert!

The Australian Girls Choir sang to a thrilled audience today at Ambrit. Their program included songs from all over the world with beautiful choreography, and always sung with beautiful voices. Ambrit choirs joined them yesterday for an exciting workshop and they sang O Re Mi and Oye! with the Austalian Girls. It was great fun. We will miss our guests who have been staying with Ambrit families. Good luck on the rest of the European tour: Florence, Marostica, Paris, and the last in Hong Kong. We wish you all the best, and thank you!

Guests at Ambrit - the Australian Girls Choir

Ambrit families are hosting members of the astounding Australian Girls Choir, Sept. 21-25, while they are in Rome on the first part of their European Tour. The choir will be giving our choirs a workshop, and will perform for our students during a school assembly. We are thrilled they have chosen Ambrit as their host school. Other concerts will take place in Rome Center. Welcome, Girls!!

AMBRIT in ROTTERDAM!

The annual Holiday for Strings was in Rotterdam the last weekend of May, and students had a brilliant time. There they met with Rotterdam String School directed by Mary O'Reilley, and after rehearsals, performed to an appreciative audience. The students not only played lots of music, but also toured the harbour, tried out new foods, and made new friends with host families. Congratulations, to Damion Wallace and Ginger Izzo, and all students! If you weren't there, maybe you should learn how to play violin, viola,  'cello, or bass, and join in! We'd love to have you!
