The event was held on Friday, October 13, and to reflect the spooky date, black cats and other Halloween decor decked the walls, and guests arrived in black and white attire.

The event promised to nurture local talent, with young performers playing with poise and Shepparton teachers displaying their abilities.

The audience enjoyed everything from pop to classic, with an opening performance by Julie Tracy, co-founder of the Australian National Piano Award.

Local young pianists Madie Reynolds-Smith, Chris O’Connell, Aditi Xavier, James Waterhouse and Celeste Cari followed.

Closing the piano extravaganza was Goulburn Valley Grammar School head of music Phil Tan, accompanying English teacher and vocalist Sherryn Parnell.

Proceeds from the night will go to Leukaemia and be matched by the Lifestyle Foundation.
