About the Branch
Our annual programme includes the following:
- During May/June each year we hold piano and violin workshops for students both in Newcastle and Muswellbrook.
- In late August the Junior Music Festival takes place
- September – a further piano workshop in Newcastle
- From 2007 – Quarterly student concerts for performance practice will be held on a Thursday evening at the end of each term.
- Other ‘special’ functions/seminars are held from time to time with the aim of involving teachers.
- Our involvement with other musical events in the area includes annual sponsorship of prizes and a scholarship in support of the Lake Macquarie Eisteddfod which is held in October/November.
- Newcastle branch also puts $500 towards the Nan Price Memorial Scholarship which is open to pianists aged 21 and under (minimum grade 6 or equivalent). Two contrasting pieces are required.
