Cardinia Civic Concert Band to be joined by international star Silvie Paladino

Mark your calendars for September 15 as Cardinia Civic Concert Band is set for an extraordinary musical event joined by beloved performer Silvie Paladino.

The esteemed, internationally recognised Cardinia Civic Concert Band, celebrating 30 years under the masterful direction of renowned conductor Kim Thomsen will be performing in a concert of monumental proportions featuring many local and international artists.

Joining the ensemble for the second time is the world-renowned Silvie Paladino, currently starring in the acclaimed production of Sunset Boulevard. Her previous collaboration with the band was a sensational sell-out, leaving audiences raving.

With MP Russel Broadbent as MC and joined by performances from other distinguished international artists, this year promises to surpass all expectations.

This concert is a testament to the band’s dedication to the community. The band has existed for over 130 years being one of the oldest bands in Australia, and has toured Europe twice performing in five countries. Under the expertise of Mrs Thomsen for over three decades, the concert will deliver music that resonates with audiences of all ages and is suitable for the whole family.

Featuring musical theatre classics, the works of Frank Sinatra, and much more, you can get behind Cardinia’s community band and support them by attending.

Secure your seats now and be part of a musical journey that promises to be both memorable and magnificent.

With a discount for group bookings, family and friends can come together and celebrate Cardinia Civic Concert Band’s 30th year with Mrs Thomsen.

‘You Raise Me Up with Silvie Paladino’ will be held on Sunday 15 September from 2pm at Bunjil Place.
