Senior Performing Arts

Co-curricular Ensembles

Our ensemble groups are up and running for 2026, but it’s not too late to join!  Please speak to a Performing Arts staff member if you would like to participate in one of our ensembles.

The timetable of ensembles is below.

Join VOX Choir!

Love to sing? Come along to VOX Choir, meeting every Tuesday at 7:45am in Room 68.

All students are welcome — no audition needed!

Musicianship

It is strongly recommended that students who have reached Grade 2 or 3 on their instrument undertake Musicianship lessons.  Musicianship classes are run in small groups at various times throughout the week by a well-qualified visiting music tutor. Parents can enroll their child for Musicianship classes via the 2026 Enrolment Form.

Camerata Competition

Our annual Camerata Competition will be held during the school day on Tuesday, 10 March. This performance competition is open to secondary school classical musicians, including both instrumentalists and vocalists, and will be adjudicated by a panel of external musicians. All participants will have the opportunity to perform at the Camerata Concert in the Performance Theatre on Tuesday, 17 March 2026 (please note the change of date and venue). 

Further information, along with a sign-up sheet, is available on the HUB. 

Music Immersion (Music Camp) 

Thursday, 12 March – Saturday 14, March inclusive

We are excited that Music Immersion is fast approaching and are looking forward to three days of rehearsals and activities with orchestra, concert band, chamber strings and stage band.  This year orchestra rehearsals will be joined by members of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra Fellows.  This will be a fabulous opportunity for us to learn from these excellent musicians. 

Further information will be sent to families of students in these ensembles this week.

ANZAC DAY Saturday, 25 April 2026

Marching Band will again be participating at the City of Orange ANZAC Day March on Saturday, 25 April.  Marching band is made up of students in Concert Band and Drum Corp.  We are looking forward to leading the Kinross Wolaroi contingent again this year.
