Still interested but less experienced?

For those of you who are less experienced but still want a little of the limelight, there will be a smaller ensemble formed for this event. Music reading skills are not essential for this ensemble. Weekly rehearsals for this group will take place on Thursdays starting 23 July from 6pm – 7pm, at the NT Music School, Old Nightcliff Road, Nightcliff. If you want to get started before hand, please contact Rosie Dwyer.
