Music holds a very special place in the life of the College. At Santa Sabina, our Music-learning journey is carefully mapped from the earliest years as we seek to prepare life and industry-ready musicians, who find their voice and take their place in the world.
We provide our students with opportunities and pathways for personal progress and excellence in performance, listening and composition. Students have the opportunity to perform in a variety of string, brass, woodwind, percussion and vocal ensembles, participating in events such as masses, liturgies, community and major College events, Celebration of Music concerts, Friday afternoon recitals and international concert tours.
We organise regular collaborations with exceptional professional partners and significant venues across Sydney. These include the City Recital Hall, Sydney Town Hall and St Mary’s Cathedral and the integration of music in the classroom with massed performance events such as gala concerts and Speech Night. Santa Sabina is a home for the Sydney Youth Orchestras, and a number of Santa Sabina students are given SYO scholarships each year.
