AUSTA SA - AGM Report - November 2020
Simone Slattery's Presentation On Saturday 21st November, AUSTA SA hosted a presentation on partimenti techniques presented by Simone Slattery. The zoom event went smoothly and we hope to do an encore of this presentation in the near future. Young Composer's Awards AUSTA SA also sponsored a category of the young composer's awards. We are now in the process of organising some performers to play and present the music of the winning composer. Unfortunately this has been delayed due to covid lockdown in SA. The winning composer's piece will also be featured in next year's AUSTA SA playing day, where we will be workshopping new music for strings. Networking Event AUSTA SA plans on hosting a networking event early next year. We are planning on using this event as an opportunity to hear from AUSTA members about what kinds of events they would like to see in the future. AGM AUSTA SA plans to hold an AGM in December.January 2020 Report
