AUSTA SA 2025
We kicked off the year with a vibrant Baroque Violin session with Lucy Macourt and Agnes Weinstein followed by our String Ensemble Repertoire Reading Day - a highlight for string teachers and conductors at all career stages. Led by the dynamic Lachlan Bramble, the afternoon was filled with inspiring ensemble playing and wrapped up with a relaxed and enjoyable social gathering, getting to know our new state committee volunteers. Presented in collaboration with ABODA SA, Fiona Portway and Julian Ferraretto presented the engaging 'String Sessions.' Set aside 23-24th August to be at our Cello Weekend - more details below.View the calendar of string events in SA
