Music festival raises the roof
Events
The Catholic Schools Music Festival brought the Adelaide Convention Centre to life with four spectacular nights of music and celebration last month.
More than 2000 students from Catholic schools across South Australia showcased their talents, performing to enthusiastic audiences and creating unforgettable memories.
Each evening featured a 400-voice combined choir, supported by outstanding instrumental ensembles and soloists. The program offered something for everyone, from the soulful Shenandoah to the lively Trolley Song from the 1944 movie, Meet Me in St Louis, starring Judy Garland.
Audiences were thrilled by the energy of the Elvis medley, the inspirational You Raise Me Up, and the Broadway favourite Corner of the Sky. Adding a touch of humour, I Must Clean My Room delighted both students and families alike.
Behind the scenes, the success of the festival was made possible by the dedication of teachers and school communities, as well as the leadership of key coordinators. Denise Rothall, music director, guided the massed voices with expertise and enthusiasm, while Sam Taylor, production coordinator, ensured every element of the performance came together seamlessly.
The festival continues to be a highlight of the Catholic education calendar, celebrating creativity, collaboration, and the transformative power of music.
