The choir will sing in collaboration with Madjitil Moorna Choir, accompanied by professional musicians, Susan Bluck (pianist) who wrote and arranged the music for the song, James Webb (didgeridoo player) and Kobi Morrison (guitarist).This song has been professionally recorded and will be promoted by the Catholic Education Office – Aboriginal Education Improvement Team, for use within Whadjuk Country schools.
The College will also be accepting the Australian Catholic Superannuation and Retirement Fund Shield for the College’s 2019 drama production of “Masquerade”. Tickets for the Closing Concert are available on the Perth Concert Hall website.
