Most recent Concert for 2026 

Sydney Conservatorium Open Academy Rising Stars
15th June, 7pm Ravenswood Auditorium

These young musicians (all aged between 10 and 17) dazzled the large and enthusiastic audience with their talent and their skilful presentation of an ambitious program. They were a credit to their teachers at the Conservatorium.

The Rising Stars at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music is a dynamic performance-based music education program. The program provides gifted school-age students with specialist tuition in a supportive environment that helps develop their musical and artistic skills. Killara Music was glad to present this concert which was a thrilling showcase of some of Sydney’s best young virtuosos.
