2009 Primary Proms

All primary schools are invited to be a part of the 2009 Primary Proms program.

 

In 2009, four exciting concerts featuring combined Year 3 and 4 primary school choirs of 350 voices and outstanding individual school items will be presented in the Hills Centre for the Performing Arts in Castle Hill.

 

The 2009 repertoire will feature an array of choral works both challenging and diverse for Year 3 and 4 primary school choirs including partner songs, unison singing and 2 part songs.

 

Schools are encouraged to audition choirs of up to 30 students from Years 3 and 4 capable of singing in two parts. Successful schools are selected for one performance only. A participation fee of $30.00 (plus GST) per student will be payable upon acceptance into the program.

 

Every public school applying will have access to comprehensive teacher professional learning and the 2009 Primary Proms repertoire and teaching CDs. Teachers may opt to attend just the professional learning component of the program.
