2023 Music Tour
Please find attached the information regarding the 2023 Music Tour to Italy and Austria. This is such an exciting opportunity for our students to perform in some of the most iconic venues in Europe, work with students and music educators from schools and universities as well as develop life-long friendships within the Clayfield Music community. There will also be many sightseeing opportunities throughout the tour. The tour will be supervised by Music staff and a member of the SLT so you know your children will be well cared for!
To ensure your child’s place on the upcoming tour, please complete the below registration form and return via email to music@clayfield.qld.edu.au.
The deposit will need to be received by Monday 28 November. All payments will need to be paid via the Clayfield College Website. All payment details are on the form.
We will be booking flights within the next few weeks to ensure the best possible price which will in turn keep the tour price down for families.
Please do not hesitate to contact the Music Department if you have any questions.
