The school holidays hit a high note for a group of Glenaeon’s talented musicians, as they embarked on the school’s inaugural European Music Tour in September.

Led by Ian Munns, Alleyne Moss and Raphaela Mazzone over two magnificent weeks, 22 Year 9–12 students enjoyed the musical experience of a lifetime performing their all-Australian repertoire in the concert halls and churches of Salzburg, Vienna, Budapest and Prague – the heart and home of classical music.

While music was the focus, the tour as a whole offered much more: a two-week immersion in the history, geography, art, architecture, food and culture of central Europe, and an unmatched experience of growth for our students, who demonstrated purpose and dedication at their pre-tour rehearsals, the courage to try new experiences abroad, and personal responsibility and resilience throughout.

Heartfelt thanks go to Ian, Alleyne and Raphaela for their thoughtful and careful planning of the itinerary, and to our students who made the tour a resounding success with their stunning musical performances, endless curiosity, and respectful engagement with the people they met and the places they visited along the way.

Our students were superb ambassadors for Glenaeon and we look forward to our next music tour to Europe in 2028.
