The Padua College Gala Concerts, held on Wednesday 4 September and Thursday 5 September in our fabulous Saint Clare Performing Arts Centre, were a resounding success. These concerts showcased the incredible talent of our music students from VCE and VET VCE, along with all our ensembles across the instrumental program. The performances included the Brassy Bunch, Percussion, and Symphonic Winds, each delivering captivating renditions that left the audience in awe. Highlights of the event were the Soul Band, a range of rock bands, and the final Gala performances for our Year 12 students, marking a memorable conclusion to their musical journey at Padua College.
A heartfelt thank you goes out to all our amazing student performers, whose dedication and passion shone brightly on stage. We also extend our gratitude to the tech crew, backstage crew, and ushers, whose hard work behind the scenes ensured the smooth running of the concerts. Special thanks to our incredible instrumental and music teachers for their unwavering support and guidance, helping our students find their North Star in the college’s music opportunities. The Gala Concerts were a true celebration of the vibrant musical community at Padua College, and we look forward to many more such inspiring events in the future.
