The orchestras are a vital part of the Camp. You will spend over four hours a day rehearsing, either with your section or with the entire orchestra.
Which Orchestra will I be in?
The Camp Directors aim to give you the best experience at Camp and to create well-balanced orchestras.
You will be placed in an orchestra depending upon your current playing ability (AMEB grade or equivalent) which you will be asked to provide on the Application Form.
At the first rehearsal on Sunday night you will have the opportunity to discuss any changes you might like to make with your Tutor or Conductor.
- The Camp Directors will choose which orchestra you will be in.
For more information please contact either the Camp Director, Margaret Hoban: 0403 155 852 or the Musical Director, James Anderson: 0428 057 489
Repertoire:
Sheet music will be handed out at the first orchestra rehearsal and at the first ensemble rehearsal.
- No music is handed out prior to Camp.
Music will be sightread on the first night. The repertoire will undergo a large amount of refinement throughout the week where it can then be performed at a high standard on the Saturday afternoon.
Please note:
Players are expected to attend all orchestra rehearsals (4 hours each day) and chamber rehearsals (2 hours each day).
Most players thrive on this, but the very youngest are sometimes eager but unable to play for so long.
You can hear music played at recent camps in the Galleries.
