We are excited to announce that Legato is on again for 2023. For students aged 10-18 who play an orchestral instrument (including piano and saxophone). Legato will be held from the 2nd - 4th of October at CDU Casuarina Campus and culminate in a showcase concert on the evening of the 4th of October.
The theme for the 2023 Legato event is Magic and Mystery, and the orchestral music will include many favourites, including the much loved Harry Potter Suite.
This year we are offering three elective workshops for the participants to enjoy: The Art of Magic ( by the CDU Magic Club); a Handbell Choir and Taiko drumming.
At the request of previous participants and tutors, we will not be running Advanced Ensembles in 2023. This will allow the students to focus more fully on the exciting orchestral repertoire.
Apply: Legato Orchestral Experience 2023 (Early Bird price now open from 1st - 30th June; registration closes 30th September)
