Catholic Schools Music Festival 2026 – Many Voices. One Journey.
This September, the 38th annual Catholic Schools Music Festival will showcase more than 2,000 extraordinary students aged 10 to 18 on stage at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre Theatre.
In this Franciscan Jubilee Year, celebrating peace, we invite you to witness the remarkable talent of South Australia's young people. Featured soloists, big bands, vocal groups and more will demonstrate an astonishing calibre of musicianship, while the 400-voice choir is sure to leave audiences inspired.
The performances unfold like a story - awakening, reflection, aspiration, play and celebration. Each part balances the next, like chapters that flow naturally from one to another. Themes of faith, joy and unity weave throughout, expressed through authentic, lived experiences shared in song.
Behind every performance is a story of dedication, creativity, courage and countless hours of practice. These students have poured their hearts into bringing this moment to life, not only to entertain, but also to move, inspire and connect with you.
Your applause means the world.
Join us as we celebrate their incredible achievements together.
