Once-in-a-generation experience: Sisters of the Church Festival 2023

Video: O Fortuna was performed for the combined Emily Schools piece.


The Sisters of the Church Music Festival 2023 finale concert was a performance four years in the making.

The opportunity for CGGS to host the festival was a once-in-a-generation experience, and showcased the fine musical traditions of the Emily Schools of Australia and New Zealand. This week long gathering concluded with a moving concert—an embodiment of our collective commitment to musical excellence, enduring resilience and brought to life our shared values informed by the Sister's commitment to social justice, equality and opportunity.

A special thank you to the staff and students of St Peters Girls' School, St Michael's Collegiate School, Perth College, St Margaret's College and St Michael's Grammar School for joining us, and to the CGGS staff and students, led by Director (Co-curricular) Mr Joel Copeland, for ensuring our guests enjoyed their time in the heart of the nation's capital.
