JANUARY 2007: CELEBRITY BENEFIT PIANO RECITAL

Professor Michail Voskresensky of the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory thrilled the audience in the National Cultural Centre with a dazzling and passionate performance of Beethovens ‘Appassionata’ Sonata and the Chopin ‘Preludes’. Professor Voskresensky, many of whose students have won gold medals in international piano competitions, also gave two memorable masterclasses. It is hoped that Professor Voskresensky will return in January 2008 for the School’s 20th Anniversary Celebrity Recital.

MARCH-APRIL 2007: ‘CARIBBEAN VILLAGE’ FOR CRICKET

The National Youth Choir contributed to the entertainment being offered to St Lucia’s World Cup Cricket hotel guests by presenting a 90-minute production of songs from around the islands entitled ‘Caribbean Village’. The show which took a lively and humorous look at aspects of life in a typical Caribbean Village was presented in a number of large hotels, and contributed significantly to the choir’s fund-raising efforts. In July this year the choir will be visiting Dominica to give two concerts.

MAY 2007: 3-2-1 JAZZ RAFFLE

The St Lucia School of Music’s ‘3-2-1’ 2007 Jazz Raffle came to a close on Sunday 13 May at Pigeon Island, amidst the excitement generated by Natalie Cole’s stunning closing set, with the drawing at the School’s booth of this year’s three winning tickets.

Winning prizes of $3,000, $2,000 and $1,000 respectively, were George Charlemagne with ticket number 3878, John Lorde with ticket numbers 1671, and Simone Alexander, with ticket number 3192.

The Jazz Raffle has become a major St Lucia School of Music fund-raiser, and raffle supporters over the years have benefited by winning two Honda cars, and in more recent times sizeable cash-back prizes. The Jazz Raffle is part of the School’s ongoing fund-raising efforts to build a much-needed extension to its Tapion premises.

ANNUAL JAZZ RAFFLE

The St. Lucia School of Music is again this year raising funds by holding a ‘5-4-5’ Raffle on ($5,000 first prize for a $5.00 ticket) to be drawn on 14th May 2006 at Pigeon Island as the curtain comes down on this year’s international jazz festival ‘St. Lucia Jazz’. Second and third prizes are $3,000 and $1,000 respectively. The Jazz raffle has become an annual event and is the School’s major fundraising activity. The proceeds from previous raffles have helped build a scholarship fund for musically gifted children from needy homes. This year’s proceeds will go towards a much-needed School Building extension.
