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.
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 read the following carefully:
There are no auditions before or at Camp.
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.
For more information please contact either the Camp Director, Margaret Hoban: 0403 155 852 or the Musical Director, James Anderson: 0428 057 489
Parent, please note:
The minimum age for unaccompanied children is 10yrs. Children under 10yrs can attend the Camp if they are accompanied by their parents. Campers are expected to attend all orchestra rehearsals (4 hours each day) and chamber rehearsals (2 hours each day). Most children 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.
