Concerts

Daily

Since listening is an important facet of learning music, concerts featuring faculty and guest artists are a daily event. Our guest list includes a variety of music genres from Aboriginal Drummers through world renowned cellist Gisela Depkat. Each performer offers a special insight into music performance.


Final

For many students, and parents, the highlight of the camp experience is the Final Concert. Each session finishes with a concert. Our focus is on ensemble music; learning, working and playing together. Belonging to a group with a common goal, campers learn to rely on each other and on themselves. The final concert is a presentation by campers as contributing members of a performance community.
