** ENROLMENTS FOR SCHOLARSHIPS AND STRINGS CLOSE NOVEMBER 2ND **

We are back, and at it again! The Waitaki Summer Music Camp is an opportunity for musicians of all ages to play orchestral music in a relaxed, sociable and fun environment supported by experienced tutors. Many have described it as a "musical holiday"

The camp is held each January at Waitaki Boys' High School in Oamaru. We run a full orchestra programme in the mornings with separate string orchestra, and wind and brass groups in the afternoons. There are also opportunities for chamber music making.

Families are particularly welcome - each year we have parents, brothers and sisters playing together in the same ensembles, so get out there and spread the word about this incredible event!

This year we will be offering several full and partial scholarships - Watch this space!

The next camp will run 7-14 January 2024.
