Senior Performing Arts

Camerata Competition

Entries are now open for the annual Kinross Wolaroi School Camerata Competition. Camerata is a performance competition for classical musicians that has a junior division (Years 7 – 10) and senior division (Years 11 – 12). 

 We encourage students at AMEB Grade 4 and above to enter the competition. The competition will be run during the school day on Wednesday, the 26th of March, in room 68.  All students who enter the competition are invited to perform at the Camerata Concert in the Performance Theatre on Friday 10 April 2025. 

Camerata is an excellent opportunity for students to perform works they have been working on over the past year or new pieces they feel confident in performing.

Entries, which have been emailed to students, are due by 5pm on Friday 14 March. Please contact Mrs Lenton jolenton@kws.nsw.edu.au for further information.
