AUSTA NSW String Festival

Sunday 25 May at Newington College, Wyvern Campus, 115 Cambridge St, Stanmore

The Australian String Teachers’ Association (AUSTA) String Festival is an annual event designed to give string players of all ages the opportunity to perform in a friendly, non-competitive and supportive environment. Students are invited to play one piece, either solo or with an accompanist and will perform one by one in a small group with other players or a similar age and ability. All performers will receive a report from the adjudication panel, certificate of participation and a trophy!

 

Labelling Instrument Cases

Some instruments have been misplaced recently or taken home by the wrong student. All musical instruments that are brought to SCEGGS must be labelled clearly with student’s name and a contact phone number. There are lots of cases that look alike, so it is important that students can identify their instrument easily from the instrument storage area.

 

Beyond the Green Gate

We love hearing about ways our musicians are involved in music-making outside of school. Please send details to Heidi Jones.
