Fusion Strings

Fusion Strings 

Students in this ensemble are selected from members of the Senior Orchestra where they must maintain a position; however, in some cases, younger students who are advanced on their instrument can also join. This will be done at the Director of Music’s discretion and if that is the case, a personal conversation will ensue.

Directed by a visiting tutor, and professional in their field, Fusion Strings is designed for students interested in a variety of genres to develop their knowledge of the role of string players in modern music. Students perform a variety of popular and alternative pieces that are not necessarily traditional. Concert performances include School Concerts and performances, the annual ABODA competition and Music Night, as well as Strings and Orchestra Night.

This ensemble is open to students with at least one year's experience on their instrument. They rehearse Tuesday lunchtimes, with rehearsals starting in Term 1, week 3. Rehearsals continue each week until mid-Term 4.

Students will be required to arrive, ready to play at 12.45pm. It is encouraged students bring a packed lunch to school on these days and eat this before rehearsal. They need to bring their instrument, required equipment, music, and a pencil to every rehearsal.
