Spring Concerts Just Around the Corner

As the weather warms up and St. Michael’s College School (SMCS) staff and students wrap up another successful academic year, we look ahead and get ready to celebrate our annual Spring Concert Series.

“After months of rehearsals and individual practice, our music students have blossomed, showcasing their growth from beginners to advanced performers,” says Jamie Oatt, Head of the Music Department. “Join us in celebrating the final performances of our senior music students as they complete their musical journey on the stage of our Centre for the Arts. These evenings promise to be filled with passion, talent, and unforgettable memories.”

The 2025 SMCS Spring Concert Series debuts three public shows on May 13, 15, and 27, as well as a special senior performance during the school day on May 14 for our school community.
