Port Pirie Choir CONCERT 2025

What a year 2025 turned out to be for the Port Pirie Regional Festival of Music!

The energy, talent, and sheer joy radiating from our choir students made this year’s performance something truly memorable. With 132 students on stage, the sound was vibrant and full, and the repertoire seemed to hit the perfect note with both singers and audience alike. From polished harmonies to lively choreography, the entire concert had a wonderful sense of confidence and celebration. We were also fortunate to have a fantastic variety of guest artists who brought their own flair to the evening.

Our conductors, Ben Graefe and Indra Benson, led with great energy and passion, bringing out the best in our students and creating a performance full of musical joy.

With such a fantastic year behind us, we’re already excited for what 2026 will bring. We look forward to welcoming even more students and schools to share in the joy of making music together.
