Suzuki Music Autumn Festival at Methodist Ladies College, Melbourne was an exciting educational event. Elena from our studio enjoyed this immersive experience, improved her playing skills and made new friends. Her mother Emily will give a short talk at our next group lesson about the Festival experience.

‘Bringing Female Composers to the Fore’
Castlemaine Chamber Players concert on 29th April featuring female composers went very well. It was good to see some students there, being inspired by hearing our live string quartet. Pieces included several by contemporary composers from Melbourne and Castlemaine, some of whom were in the audience.
