The Northern Rivers Conservatorium Open Day May 24

The Northern Rivers Conservatorium Annual Open Day is scheduled for Saturday 24th May, 2014 and you are all invited.  Come along and find out about the full range of music education on offer at your local Conservatorium ranging from Early Childhood Music all the way through to a Diploma of Music.

The action starts at 10am with the opportunity to “try on” a range of musical instruments with the help of our expert tutors in piano, voice, brass, woodwind, strings and drums.  You can take a tour of the building, record your own CD in our recording studio and sit in on open rehearsals.  Little ones can bring their Mums and Dads along to an Early Childhood Music class at 10:30.

If you’re interested in a career in the Music Industry, an Academy information session with our Head of Academy Music will run at 10am.  Find out all you need to know about studying the Certificate III and Diploma in Music, VET Fee-Help and the pathway to study at Southern Cross University.

At 11:00 the Showcase concert will open with a welcome to country in our beautiful Keen St Courtyard.  Performances from the World Music Ensemble, Mello Cellos, Youth Jazz Orchestra, Academy Hour and the Elementary Band will run until 1:30.  A fantastic open air Samba Workshop will close the day in fun fashion.

Friendly staff and students will be on hand to answer all your questions and there will be yummy locally made food and coffee available on site.

To find out more, come to Open Day on Saturday 24th May, 10am – 2pm or call the Conservatorium on 6621 2266.
