SLAS Graduate 2014 - Claudia Marcus

Hi Mr Robinson! 

Q1. Where are you now?
I am living in Brisbane so that I can attend university.
Q2. What do you do?
I am a second year university student studying a Bachelor of Music (BMus) at the Queensland Conservatorium of Music. I am studying Classical Voice and also incorporating cello into some of my courses. I am a member of the Griffith Honours College which consists of the top 2% of undergraduate students at the university. I successfully auditioned for the Val Machin scenes of “The Magic Flute” this year alongside another Old Saint, Emily McWhirter-Peddlesden. Currently, I have a casual weekend job to save up for a trip to America in January next year to tour with Gondwana Chorale; an organisation that I was a part of and toured internationally with throughout high-school that is based in Sydney.

Q3. What did you do after graduating at SLAS?
I graduated St Luke’s already having an offer for tertiary study from the Conservatorium. I worked part-time over the summer break and moved to Brisbane to commence university. I began teaching piano and singing to private students and also tutored primary students in Maths and English during my first year out of high-school.

Q4. What is your favourite memory from your time at SLAS?
My favourite memories of school were all created during music and drama rehearsals and performances. I valued the fluidity of friendships between year levels within the music department. On reflection, I commenced university with the advantage of a broad musical knowledge and skill set, surpassing that of my peers from around Australia. For that I have to thank the music teachers at St Luke’s, in particular Peter Rickert and Robert Rotar whose dedication, inspiration and flair was invaluable and integral in my decision to pursue a career in music.

Regards
Claudia  

All the best for the future
