Come Together 2026
On Monday 27th April a smorgasbord of excellent and entertaining music will be presented at the Clocktower Centre in Moonee Ponds.
Many of our ensembles will provide a “taster” of their 2026 repertoire.
There will be a snippet of the College musical, Oliver! and ensemble leaders will emcee to provide a foreshadowing of 2026 performances.
