Celebrating the Festive Spirit: Our Students Shine at the Melbourne Music Education Annual Christmas Concert!

To wrap up the year on a high note, our talented students took to the stage for the Melbourne Music Education Annual Christmas Concert. This special event was a wonderful opportunity for our young musicians to showcase their hard work, dedication, and love for music in a festive and joyous setting.

Each student had the chance to perform two pieces—one being their favourite Christmas tune, bringing the holiday spirit to life, and the other a piece they had been diligently working on throughout the term. The concert hall was filled with the magical sounds of holiday classics, personal favourites, and heartfelt performances, making it a truly memorable occasion for all in attendance.

A huge congratulations to all the students who performed! Their commitment and passion were evident in every note they played, and it was a delight to see their progress and confidence shine on stage. Special thanks to the families, teachers, and supporters who came along to cheer them on and celebrate their musical journey.

As we close out the year, we are incredibly proud of our students' achievements and look forward to another year filled with music, learning, and inspiration. Wishing everyone a joyful holiday season and a harmonious New Year!

Christmas Concert 2024 organised by Ann

Last year, for the first time, our director, Ann, organised a series of Christmas concerts in local Melbourne churches, bringing together professional musicians and community choirs in South Melbourne and Avondale Heights. The concerts featured stunning performances by our very own teachers, with Ann on the organ and singing, Misha arranging music and Sam showcasing his talent on the violin. It was a truly memorable highlight of the year, celebrating music, collaboration, and the festive spirit!
