Save the date – Emanuel School Music Camp 2020
The annual Emanuel School Music Camp is a wonderful celebration of our vibrant music culture and the talents and hard work of our young musicians. Each camp is a special experience for students as they unite in a shared love of music and work together in the pursuit of excellence. Emanuel School music staff join with a team of highly skilled professional musicians to develop and hone students’ musical skills in preparation for an exciting showcase concert.
This three-day residential camp will take place in Week 9 of Term 2, from Monday 22 June 2020 and returning on the evening of Wednesday 24 June 2020 but continuing with an all-day rehearsal on Thursday 25 June 2020. The Music Camp Showcase Concert will take place in the MPH on the Thursday evening.
All members of participating ensembles in Years 4 – 11 are expected to attend Music Camp, at a cost of approximately $560.00. Attendance for Year 12 students is optional. Full details regarding Music Camp will be published in Ma Nishma in the coming weeks and emailed to parents, including the list of participating ensembles, the cost and the procedure for registering to attend.Â
This year we will be returning to Galston Gorge Conference & Recreation Centre, located on the edge of the Berowra Valley National Park, approximately one hour away from Emanuel School. The centre is set in hectares of natural bushland and will provide a private and peaceful environment for our students and staff, as well as excellent accommodation and rehearsal facilities. Students will be transported between school and the camp on privately chartered buses.
