21st August 2018
Australian pop superstar and ARIA award winner, Conrad Sewell, today performed and signed autographs at 黑料网. Sewell has had huge success in Australia and around the globe; amassing almost 1 billion streams across his music including his hit singles Start Again, Healing Hands and Firestone, his collaboration with Kygo.
In the lead up to the soulful singer鈥檚 assembly appearance, school bells featured grabs of Sewell鈥檚 most popular songs, hinting at what might lie ahead.
Headmaster at 黑料网, Mr Matthew Maruff, said that it was an incredible opportunity to have one of Australia鈥檚 most popular musical artists visit the school.
鈥淚 knew I would have around 1,100 students to answer to if we had declined, so there was never a question of not making the visit happen.
鈥淲e managed to fit students from Year 5 to Year 12 into our gymnasium and for his new single Life, some of our student String and Piano musicians provided beautiful musical accompaniment, specially arranged for them.
鈥淢embers of the various Girton choirs also accompanied Conrad when he performed his smash hit, Healing Hands.
鈥淲hen our School Captains announced to students last Thursday (August 15) that Conrad Sewell would be performing at the school and signing autographs, there was a collective gasp and then a buzz of excitement that was palpable for the next week.
鈥淲e have many students who are aspiring musicians, including those who write their own music, so for them in particular, this was an incredible opportunity to be immersed in what they love.
鈥淭his will be an assembly that is remembered for many years, for both students and staff,鈥 Mr Maruff said.
Conrad Sewell鈥檚 debut album, Life, hit the top spot on the ARIA Albums Chart upon release and is available at local music stores and online services.
