A Place to Grow

This fanfare traces the journey of growing up within a nurturing community. Each section reflects a different stage of that experience — from the wide-eyed optimism of early beginnings, to curiosity and exploration, to a sense of belonging and routine. Eventually, the piece moves toward a heartfelt farewell to the community that helped shape that growth. In the final moments, it turns toward the next chapter, ready to begin again.

Commissioned by St Columba Anglican School, Port Macquarie for their 20th Anniversary.
