2018 Residential Summer String Camp Applications Open

Along with the Winter Orchestra Workshop, the LYCO organises the annual Residential Summer String Camp, now in its 28th year. This will run from 14th January 2018 to 20th January 2018, and applications are now open.

To apply, start at the RSSC Application page.

2017 Winter Orchestra Workshop Applications Open

Rehearsals Resume 5th May 2017

Due to the Tasmanian term dates for 2017, we will be missing three consecutive Fridays. Once the second term of 2017 begins, rehearsals for all three orchestras will resume on the 5th of May.

For the complete list of rehearsal and concert dates, see the Rehearsals page.

Administration Changes

After many years as LYCO treasurer and camps administrator, Virginia de Groot is retiring from the LYCO Committee.

The LYCO and RSSC boards wish to thank Virginia for her huge contribution over the years. With Virginia’s retirement from these positions there will be changes to the registration process. We hope to make the transition as simple as possible.

Membership and camp enquiries should now be sent to apply@lyco.org.au.

Sincerely,

Margaret

Musical director
