Music Matters

Diana Springford – Head of Music

Welcome to our Music Matters page! 🎶

Here you will find announcements about our busy Music program, so please check this on a weekly basis. 

Music Camp – bookings close today!
(Monday 20 June – Thursday 23 June 2022) 

Bookings for Music Camp close today and our participants list is being finalised. Information about Music Camp was sent to existing members of our ensembles and choirs who have made a year-long commitment to those ensembles. If your child is a member or has only recently joined and you haven’t enrolled already for Music Camp, please urgently contact Jo:  jdearaujo@emanuelschool.nsw.edu.

We’ve had a wonderful response and a huge group of talented students from Years 4 – 12 are registered to attend Music Camp in June. Next week, parents of all participants will receive an important email about special diets, with a link to the venue survey confirming whether (or not) your child needs a special diet. Very detailed information will be in the cover email.  A detailed packing list will be sent to attendees in Week 6.   

Parents and carers, please remember to put the Music Camp Showcase Concert in your diary for Thursday 23 June 2022, from 6.15 pm – 8.00 pm. Please note that as we have such a large group of campers who will be performing in the concert, we will need to limit the audience to two persons per student. We will video the performance and make that available afterwards to the parents and carers of performers.
