Applications are now open for the Canterbury Schools Regional Orchestra (CSRO), closing on Friday 12th June.
The CSRO is a free orchestra course for year 7-13 students with the opportunity for students to represent their school in a full symphony orchestra. Rehearsals are on a Friday afternoon from 3:45-5:15 at Hagley College over seven weeks in term 3, culminating in two public performances. Entry is by written application from which an orchestra will be selected. The target group is for students grade 4-7 level. All details can be found on the attached brochure.
This year our guest conductor is Ian Thorpe, known to many people around town as an oboist / woodwind teacher / conductor and stage manager. In addition to his depth of orchestral knowledge Ian will also bring to the event his expertise and humor. It promises to be both a rewarding and enjoyable event.
