Greenwood's Winter Concert

Tihmily Li, Senior Officer, Communications & Marketing
Even with the hustle and bustle of Holiday Hootenanny activities, the Greenwood community found time to gather on the evening of December 16 for our annual Music Night. Emceed by Samantha Jaskolka ‘26 and Carter Murphy ‘26, families and guests enjoyed performances from instrumental classes and co-curricular bands. For many of the performers, their first time playing their instrument was at the beginning of the school year and they only had a few months to go from learning their instruments’ basics to performing a composition. 

As a special thank you for their ongoing dedication and contributions to Greenwood’s curricular and co-curricular music program, Mr. Piasetski and Mr. Stubbs were presented bouquets at the end of the night.

Here are the performances from the concert:
  • The Grade 7 Band performed Lean on Me composed by Bill Withers, arrangement by Richard Piasetski.
  • The Grade 8 Band performed He’s A Pirate by Klaus Badelt, Geoff Zanelli and Hans Zimmer, arrangement by Robert Longfield
  • The Grade 9 Band performed two pieces:
    • Shepherd’s Hey, arrangement by Patrick Roszell
    • Battle of the Primes, composed by Patrick Roszell
  • The Junior Jazz Band performed two pieces
    • All Blues - composed by Miles Davis, arrangement by Michael Sweeney
    • Harlem Nocturne - composed by Earle Hagen, arrangement by Peter Blair. Featuring guest trumpeter,  Paul Sanvidotti, one of Greenwood’s private music tutors
  • The Senior Guitar Club performed two contemporary songs:
    • Teenage Dirtbag by Wheatus
    • Buddy Holly by Weezer
  • The Senior Jazz Band performed two pieces with special guest trumpeter, Paul Sanvidotti:
