The 24th Riverina Summer School for Strings &
Sounds of Summer Concert Series

Carl Pini will be our Music Director again and he will be accompanied by a range of dedicated and talented tutors. This year will see the return of many of our well-known regulars as well as some new faces in Sun Yi & Cathererine Dauth (violin), Rohan de Korte & Patrick Murphy (cello), Brenda King (piano), Jenny Druery (double bass) and Steve Brien (jazz guitar). Select the Tutor tab above for more details about the teachers helping with the school in 2010

All our chamber music concerts are held at Joyes Hall and the Thursday concert will be a tango feature, also at Joyes Hall.

This project has been assisted by the Commonwealth Government through
the Australia Council for the Arts, its arts funding and advisory body.

The Classes

The School caters for players of violin, viola, cello, double bass and guitar of all ages, from six to eighty, and offers a range of string playing activities to cater for varying interests and abilities. A limited number of instruments will be available for hire at a reasonable rate.

For older students and adults, a moderately high standard of playing is desirable. A formal qualification however, is not necessary. Short informal auditions will be held upon arrival at the School in order to ascertain skills in sight reading and playing from memory as well as general musicianship skills so as to facilitate placement in one of the two string orchestras.

The Concerts

An outstanding feature of the School is the Sounds of Summer Concert Series which takes place almost every night during the week of the school.
