"The new auditorium is exquisite and the students were beyond outstanding."

"I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the opening ceremony on Saturday. Would you please pass on my thanks and congratulations to Lois Joll and all the staff members involved in the event. The students were exemplary in their organisation and musicmaking. I particularly loved the final items with all the choirs on stage. A truly memorable day."

"The concert was dazzling. Lois, you are a hero. Your people performed brilliantly, under pressure. It was an outstanding success, all round."

"Thankful for all your organisation. From our point of view the concert and opening were a massive success. Hope from yours as well."

"I was blown away by the quality of your students (not surprising given your pedigree… but honestly, they were exceptional), as I was by the acoustics. I recall looking at a student with a triangle, and hearing every note they were playing over the whole orchestra on stage. That was a special moment for me, and very relieving!"

"The acoustics are absolutely fantastic, wow! Everything sounds incredibly clear and beautiful. I think it is now Perth's best venue, especially for the size."
