Printable Flyer: AUSTA 2019 – Concerto Day

The AUSTA ACT CONCERTO DAY will be held on September 8, 2019 at the Recital Room in the Canberra Girls’ Grammar School Music Center on Melbourne Avenue, Deakin, ACT. It is an excellent opportunity for students to experience rehearsing and performing a concerto movement with an orchestral accompaniment.

To participate in Concerto Day, students will need to register at https://www.trybooking.com/511887. It is available for students of AUSTA members only.

Some concertos will be run as a mass concerto movement, ie many students playing the same work simultaneously. Other concertos in the list will be allocated by first in with registration. Strictly only one movement and only concertos.

The orchestra will be provided by members of the Forrest National Chamber Orchestra, AUSTA members and other volunteers.

On September 8, rehearsal time slots will be allocated from 9.30 am at probably half hour intervals. It is expected that students will have already prepared their concerto movement by previously rehearsing with a piano accompanist at their own expense.

All friends and family are welcome to the concert which is expected to commence at 3.30pm in the Recital Room.
