About January Music Camp

Sunday 17 January to Monday 25 January

Rutherford Park Country Homestead

The annual Music Camp will again be held in January for all students in orchestras, choirs, bands and jazz bands at St Leonard’s College. We are delighted that this year we will be joined at camp by internationally recognised educational leaders in the areas of Orchestra, Choir, Concert Band and Big Band. These guest clinicians will work with every ensemble at camp as well as presenting a series of inspirational evening workshops and masterclasses. This camp is suitable for students who will be in years 7 to 12 in 2016. Younger students may be appropriate and should contact the Directors of Music to discuss this.

All meals (including those with special dietary requirements), accommodation and transport will be provided. While the camp covers nine days, each section (Orchestra, Choir, Bands/Guitar Ensembles & Jazz Program) will be at camp for 3 days only. Students may enrol in multiple sections of the camp.

Choral guest clinician Naomi Crellin – The Idea of North

Many of our staff and students have met Naomi at the Mt Gambier National Championships where she both adjudicates and performs with acapella vocal group, the Idea of North. After joining The Idea of North in early 2002, Naomi quickly became a significant contributor to the group’s repertoire through her writing and arranging and has also utilised her extensive choral training and experience in taking a major responsibility for managing the group’s rehearsals and educational activities.

Bands guest clinician Dr John Lynch – Professor of conducting and bands at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music

Staff and students alike are thrilled that Dr Lynch has agreed to once again attend the January Music Camp. His impact upon the bands program at the 2015 camp was profound. Dr Lynch’s biography is quite extraordinary. Prior to joining the University of Sydney in June 2014, Dr. John Lynch was previously the Director of Bands and Professor of Music at The University of Georgia where he guided all aspects of the band and graduate and wind conducting programs. He has ten years of high school teaching experience in his native New York State where he was the national recipient of the Stanbury Award for outstanding teaching and conducting.
