St Patrick's Cathedral Melbourne 2025 Concert Series

Young organists from the Australian and New Zealand College of Organists.

In the spirit of making this an exceptional Mother’s Day celebration, we are excited to announce our Audience Submissions for the performance of your favourite song for Mother’s Day. The chosen song(s) will be performed at the concert by Michael Petruccelli, accompanied by Coady Green on the piano.

We invite TICKET HOLDERS to participate by submitting a song which has special meaning for you on Mother’s Day. If you wish to submit a song choice, please undertake the following steps:

1. Think of your, or your mother's, most meaningful song for Mother’s Day.

2. Send an email to music@cam.org.au telling us the name and, if possible, the composer of the song and why, on Mother’s Day, it is special to you, and/or your mother. The song might remind you of past times, events and so on, or could be a piece that you find particularly moving and meaningful. One paragraph is ideal, as we wish to print your story in the concert program.

3. Please submit your song and story by 5.00pm on Wednesday 7 May. Songs submitted after this time cannot be considered, as we need to confirm the choices with the artist.

4. By submitting your story, you are approving the right for us to print your story in the concert program. Unless you tell us otherwise, we will also print your given first name in the program.   

Michael Petruccelli and I will select the winning entry. You will be notified via email by 5.00pm on Friday 9 May if your song and story is chosen. If you have any queries, please contact us at music@cam.org.au  

We look forward to seeing you at the concert!

Sincerely, Dr Philip Matthias and the Cathedral Music Office
