Music

We write this 2022 reflection with great pride and awe at the musical passion and prowess demonstrated by so many St Catherine’s girls this year. After two years spent in lockdown, it has been a joy to return to in-person rehearsals, performances, and concerts, with everyone genuinely excited to be back and sharing a common love for music. There have been so many fantastic musical events across the year, kicking off with the annual Concerto Concert that took place in March. This event was highly anticipated after two years of lockdown rehearsals and performances, and was the perfect debut for our new, purpose-built performing arts space – The Jamie and Rebecca Gray Theatre. Our Senior Recital was held in the Sherren House Ballroom in May. This Recital is always a personal favourite of the students, and we enjoyed hearing students from Years 7 to 12 perform flute, violin duets, piano, guitar and guzheng from a range of genres, including Classical Chinese (originating from Japan) and J.S. Bach to modern day pop music like Olivia Rodrigo’s Jealousy Jealousy. Our Senior School choirs the Sherren Singers and Viva Voci, and our Flute and Clarinet ensembles, among others, have continued to amaze audiences at Jazz Night, the Years 7 & 8 Concert, and of course, our showstopping Gala Concert, held once more in the Melbourne Recital Centre.

This year was a truly fantastic return to live performances, and we cannot wait to see the girls continue to shine in years to come.
