Music has been an integral part of Avondale life since 1897 and in recognition of this proud tradition the music program was officially rebranded as Avondale Conservatorium on Saturday evening 24^th August 2013 at the annual Homecoming Concert in Avondale College Church. To honour this significant occasion in the history of music at Avondale a concert event entitled War and peace was designed to showcase the musical talents of both staff and students of the new Avondale Conservatorium.
