NEVR Concert

On Mon 18 July, the Wantirna College Symphonic Band combined with the Symphonic Band from Vermont Secondary College to perform at the NEVR Concert 'Spotlight’. 

This concert highlights musical excellence in government schools in the North Eastern Victoria Region, featuring a number of musical ensembles and soloists from schools across the region. 

As well as providing our students with the experience of performing at the Melbourne Recital Centre and collaborating with Vermont SC, it was great to see our students having fun and mixing  with music students from other schools again.  

Here are some photos from our NEVR soundcheck before the big event.

Victorian School Music Festival

The Victorian School Music Festival involves school bands, orchestras, jazz ensembles and choirs performing in some of Victoria’s premier performing spaces including the Hawthorn Arts Centre.

Performing at VSMF is the full sensory experience with young musicians performing on stage in their ensemble, receiving given immediate feedback on stage from a highly skilled adjudicator. Participants are involved in listening to others in performance, watching how it can be done differently with opportunities to analyse their own performance back at school by listening to the recording and watching the video provided.

Next term the Wantirna College String Orchestra, Concert Band and Symphonic Band will perform at the VSMF, Hawthorn Arts Centre.

Gala Concert

This year our prestigious Gala Concert returns promising to pack a punch after a few missed years.  It will be held on Thu 15 September at a new location, so please watch this space for more information!

Piano Key Fundraiser 

Presenting the Wantirna College

'Buy a Piano Key Fundraiser'

With the continued growth and success of our program the time has come to furnish our music program with another high quality piano and the Parents of Performing Arts are running our “Buy a Piano Key” fundraiser to raise money towards the cost of a brand new Baby Grand Piano.

Families and friends have the opportunity to leave a long lasting contribution to the program by purchasing one of 88 Piano Keys for $100.

As well as having your name (or group name) commemorated on a Plaque, everyone who purchases a piano key will also receive an actual piano key* as a memento of your contribution and a token of our thanks.

This is a unique and meaningful way of contributing to our program and your continued support helps ensure that our students will always have high quality instruments.

Individuals and groups can “Buy a Piano Key” for $100 through Trybooking:
