Regent Park School of Music

The Regent Park School of Music choir, directed by Wayne Strongman and accompanied by Lizzie Lavado, sang the National Anthems to open the first home game for the Blue Jays. Here are some pictures of them on the field. The Red Sox were lined up on their left, the Blue Jays on their right. Come on--that's cool! Thank you Blue Jays! We had the most amazing time!

On Saturday, December 1st, musicians from around the city participated in a Rock Lottery. At 11:00am 25 musicians gathered together and drew numbers out of a hat to randomly separate into 5 bands. These 5 bands had 7 hours to write a few original songs, enough to fill a 20min set. Everyone regrouped later that night to play a show at Sneaky Dee's. Jane Duncan, the organizer of this event, donated all of the proceeds to our school! Below are a few pictures, taken by Rodrigo Pizarro, to highlight some of the talent displayed at the show. A big thank you to Jane and all of the participants!

On October 18th, 2007 the Regent Park School of Music took the choir, string ensemble, and solo performers to provide the musical atmosphere for an event hosted by the Daniel's Corporation at the Kilgour Estates.

Thank you to the Daniel's Corporation as well as the Kilgour Estate's residents and purchasers for the opportunity to be part of such a fantastic evening!

Honens brought Hong Xu, one of the winners of last year's Honen's International Piano Competition, to the Regent Park School of Music. He met with 8 piano students and conducted a master class. Each student brought a piece and played for Hong and their peers and then was able to work on their musicianship skills. What a treat! Thank you to Honens for this great opportunity.

We are so excited to be involved in and attending the upcoming performance of Elijah's Kite on Tuesday October 23, 2007. For more information and details concerning the performance please visit PREVnet's website.

Findlay Caplan showed her generosity by asking her friends and family to donate to the Regent Park School of Music in lieu of receiving gifts for her Bat Mitzvah. The support was incredible and we are so grateful for her gracious gesture! Thank you Findlay and congratulations!
