Step into the enchanting world of Vive la Révolution!
In a night of unparalleled entertainment, we invite you to join us as International Grammar School’s 40th Anniversary celebrations culminate in a grand spectacular at the ICC.
Enjoy the soulful tunes and rich velvety vocals of internationally acclaimed vocalist and IGS alum Mi‑kaisha Masella. Uniting community through music, we introduce the IGS Festival Ensembles, bringing together students, staff, alums, and parents and carers in performances of musical extracts from Les Misérables and repertoire by Australian Composers.
In an innovative theatrical production that surpasses the ordinary, our program highlights the premieres of remarkable works such as Harry Sdraulig’s moving Acknowledgement to Country, a tribute to First Nations’ heritage, and Ella Macens’ captivating Earthbound, which portrays a deep connection to land. Guiding the ensemble is esteemed guest conductor, Mr Paul Jarman, who will introduce his composition of the new School Anthem – United Through Diversity.
IGS has been a beacon of progressive bilingual education, fostering creativity, inclusivity, and a love for learning since 1984. Secure your seats for Vive la Révolution!, the pièce de résistance of our celebratory year, as we honour the past, treasure the present, and shape the future.

From NYC to Sydney: Mi‑kaisha Masella’s Homecoming Performance
“Mi-kaisha’s voice is just like silk,” says Triple J’s Tyrone Pynor. With her rich velvety vocals at centre stage, the NYC-via-Sydney vocalist draws equally from soul tradition and pop melody, guided by hard-hitting lyrics about her experience as a young Aboriginal and Pacific Islander woman. Growing up on the streets of her local music scene, the soundtrack of her childhood included soulful 90s tunes and the island music of her father’s Koori Radio hip‑hop show “Island Hopping.”
IGS alum, Indigenous Scholar and 2018 Head Girl returns from New York to celebrate 40 Years Young with International Grammar School.
