Winter Concerts

Following the announcement of the Industrial Action, we are pleased to confirm that the Winter Concert Series has been rescheduled and will now take place on Tuesday 28 July 2026 in the David McGrail Theatre, Balwyn High School.

Concert 1: 5:30pm - 7pm: A Train Stage Band, Concert Choir, Newitt String Orchestra, Training Concert Band, Resonance Choir, Symphonic Band

SOLD OUT Concert 2: 7:30pm - 9pm: Novice Concert Band, Junior Concert Band, Cadence Guitar Ensemble, A-Strings Orchestra, Junior String Orchestra, Senior String Orchestra

The return to Balwyn High School has been made possible as refurbishment works in the theatre space have not yet commenced, allowing us to bring our music community together in a familiar venue to celebrate a wonderful term of music making. I am particularly grateful to the Principal Team and ACC for their significant support in rescheduling this concert series.

These concerts represent an important milestone for many students across our program. They include debut performances for members of the Training Concert Band and A Strings Orchestra, as well as significant final performances for our Year 12 students and formal acknowledgement of their significant impact on the program during their time at Balwyn High School. More broadly, the concerts provide an opportunity to acknowledge the hard work, growth, commitment and excellence demonstrated by students and staff throughout the semester.

We recognise that a change of date may create inconvenience for some families, and we sincerely thank you for your understanding and flexibility. Our goal has always been to ensure that students have the opportunity to share the results of their dedication and to celebrate these important moments together as a community.

Ticketing Information

To simplify arrangements for all families:

• All tickets purchased for the original concert dates at Camberwell Grammar School will be fully refunded.

We are deeply grateful for the support of our school community and look forward to coming together on Tuesday 28 July to celebrate the achievements of our ensembles, honour the contributions of our Year 12 students, and recognise a semester of outstanding musical growth and performance.
