Director of Music | Mr Brad Esbensen

As the end of the year approaches and we begin planning for 2018, could you please notify the Music Department as soon as possible of any enrolment changes to your son’s lessons for 2018. Students currently enrolled in the program will automatically have their lessons roll over. During these final weeks and early in the new year you will be receiving information regarding lessons and ensembles.

Following the auditions and placement of students in ensembles, all those involved in our premier ensembles will be receiving an invitation to attend the 2018 Music Camp. There will be some changes to the usual run for camp for 2018 due to increasing numbers of students involved in the program. Dates are currently set for Monday 15 January through to Friday 19 January and a schedule outlining student involvement will be sent shortly. The camp is a great opportunity for our musicians to engage in several days of intensive rehearsals to hone their skills and to develop a sense of teamwork and camaraderie within their ensembles. Please respond to the Parent Lounge request by the due date as numbers need to be finalised with the camp site before the end of term.

Please see below for the list of Term 4 events. Remember to accept tour notifications as they are sent through Parent Lounge and check Event Memos(available through the Terrace App).
