Pimlico State High School Performing Arts

Pimlico State High School (PSHS) has a long history of being a school of excellence for those who wish to participate in the performing arts.

To provide the school and wider community with information relating to performing arts, both within the school and to opportunities that the students, their family and friends may be interested in. Its students are not only involved with performing arts within the school, but are also active in many local community arts organisations. With an experienced and dedicated arts teaching faculty, the instruction given is the equal to any metropolitan-based student. Every student is encouraged and guided to perform to the best of their ability. Whether performing as a soloist, or as a member of one of the school's 9 ensembles, Pimlico musicians are highly regarded with many being selected to participate in Creative Generation Excellence Awards in Instrumental Music (MOST) and State Honours Ensemble Program (SHEP). From the strong foundations established at Pimlico SHS, many past students have continued their performing arts and forged a career from what they first learnt at the school...our alumni...and we're very pleased for them and proud to know where they came from. With the promise by the Qld. State Government of a new Performing Arts Centre (PAC), the well-established performing arts programs already embedded as part of the school's culture can only be further strengthened. PIMLICO S.H.S. - A SCHOOL OF PERFORMING ARTS EXCELLENCE

Our recent alumni are making great inroads while still students in their chosen performing arts careers.

Alex McLaughlin was one of 16 exceptional students from Queensland Conservatorium Griffith University who were in the practice room one minute...and then next were playing Scheherazade with the Queensland Symphony Orchestra, led by conductor Otto Tausk - an outstanding opportunity to gain valuable, practical orchestral experience to support their professional development.

Kate Woodford, a 3rd-year Bachelor of Music (Honours) student at UQ has performed a wide range of operatic roles through the UQ School of Music's Opera Scenes and Opera Gala programs, has performed at Brigham Young University in Utah and was selected as an Emerging Artist with the Queensland Art Song Festival. She is soon to star as soprano soloist in Bruckner's Te Deum at the upcoming UQ Symphony Orchestra Last Words concert.

We extend our sincere congratulations to both Alex and Kate and wish you continued success on your music journeys.

Music teachers don't just develop musicians.

They help shape confident communicators, creative thinkers, compassionate leaders and resilient learners. The skills developed through music don't stay in the rehearsal room, they stay with students for life.

Thank you especially to our Pimlico music teachers...and also music teachers everywhere!

This final performance of what is often described as Handel's greatest work marks the culmination of an extraordinary musical journey that has brought together singers, instrumentalists, volunteers, supporters, and audiences from across Queensland and beyond.

Without the valued partnership of the Great Barrier Reef Orchestra and the Opera Queensland Young Artists Program this final performance would not be possible. Their artistic contribution has enriched this project immeasurably and helped create a truly collaborative celebration of music-making and without local soloists, including Harrison T from Pimlico State High School, the lead-up performances would have floundered and to them, many thanks.

Tickets are now available for this choral and orchestral spectacular, so book now and don't miss out!
