We will meet on Friday morning at 8:30am for the final technique class, followed by a group ensemble masterclass and farewell lunch at North West Christian School.
MASTER CLASS & LUNCHTIME CONCERTS
These will be open to the public and will provide performance practice and feedback to our participants preparing for auditions, AMEB exams, recitals, or just for the joy of making music! Alexey Yemstov will be available to perform with those selected for the master class and lunchtime concerts.
LARGE ENSEMBLES
Be prepared to make long-lasting friendships in the action-packed small ensemble classes and workshops which cater for every level.
SMALL ENSEMBLES
Pair up with others and form a trio, quartet, duo or Quintet! Small Ensembles will perform in masterclasses and lunchtime concerts, and are a big part of the Festival experience. Rehearsals will be after lunch each day
GRAND FINALE CONCERT
The Grand Finale Concert is a vital part of the Nova Muse Festival and on Thursday, 13th October at the Penguin Uniting Church. You’ll spend over four hours a day rehearsing, either with your section or with the entire ensemble. The Grand Finale Concert is a celebration of the musical relationships and refined skills learned during the festival.
This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council for the Arts, its arts funding and advisory body.
