Palmerston North Girls’ High School

Palmerston North Girls’ High School was funded to employ ‘composer in residence’, Sam Logan, a youthful but experienced composer to stimulate creativity in class groups and throughout the school music community.

During his residency, Sam wrote four works. These included a work for one piano, six hands (Tango), a work for the guitar ensemble (Western Suite), a vocal work with a percussion line (On my Way) and a chamber music piece for a piano trio (River). The piano work had its premier at the Musical Mayhem Concert in August 2014.
