The Riverina Conservatorium of Music is proudly presenting again Christmas with the Con 2024.
Celebrating the Christmas season with the Riverina Conservatorium Orchestra along with the Simmons Street Big Band, Combined Concert Bands, instrumental ensembles, choirs, and featured soloists from the Riverina Conservatorium of Music. Performing on Wagga Wagga’s new Riverside precinct stage is a wonderful way to end the year with a celebration. The concert will feature a wonderful music program that will be engaging and entertaining for all community members to enjoy.
Experience classical, traditional, and contemporary Christmas music, along with an uplifting and dramatic finale performance by the Riverina Conservatorium Orchestra of a special Christmas Medley orchestrated and produced for this year’s occasion.
The concert will engage over 220 professional and aspiring musicians from the Riverina Conservatorium of Music, presenting a quality event that will broaden and delight audiences.
The concert will be supported by professional sound and lighting and will also feature a dazzling six-minute fireworks finale over the banks of the majestic Murrumbidgee River. Christmas with the Con will celebrate the festive season with one of the biggest performances in the Riverina.
