The renowned Kambala Music Festival returns to the Sydney Opera House Concert Hall, promising an unforgettable evening of musical excellence.
A selection of our flagship ensembles directed by Music Department staff will open proceedings - Senior Orchestra, Symphonic Wind Orchestra, Chamber Orchestra, Kambala Jazz Orchestra, and the combined Years 5-6 Choir. The highlight of the evening, our unique House Music Competition, will present Roseby, Gurney, Wentworth and Hawthorne with three student-directed items, an instrumental piece followed by two choral works. The rehearsals are off to an amazing start and the spirit of Kambala is truly shining through, as collaboration, community and sisterhood take center stage.
