Music Contemporary Music Highlights

Loreto Toorak Contemporary Musicians have started the year with significant performances at both external events at clubs and on campus.

Members of Loreto Unplugged, Stage Band, Vocal Ensemble and vocal soloists performed at the world-renowned Jazzlab in Brunswick. This has become a signature event in our music calendar. The students performed alongside guest artist Michelle Nicolle, Australia’s leading jazz vocalist, who also gave a masterclass at School the week before. Our instrumentalists and vocalists enthralled the packed house with their brilliant performances.

The Loreto Toorak Family Picnic was held in glorious autumn sunshine and our musicians were again on show with excellent performances from the Senior Stage Band, as well as Toni Matha Wind Band, Saxophone Ensemble, Trilino String Quartet, Flute Ensemble, Clarinet Ensemble, Bel Canto and Senior Percussion Ensemble. Families delighted in the lovely atmosphere whilst enjoying a picnic on St Michael’s Green.

Our Senior Stage Band and Loreto Unplugged musicians braved a wintry day to support the Xavier Maytime Fair. The Stage Band performed a set of classic pop hits, followed by our Loreto Unplugged students showcasing their brilliant original works to an engaged and responsive audience.
