Every year, roughly 260 300 instrumentalists, aged from as young as 13 through to 28, “When you work are chosen out of the many students around Australia to partake in the Australian Youth you are a flute Orchestra programs. These consist of National Music Camp, the Australian Youth Orchestral seasons, chamber camps, Young Symphonists, fellowships and more. The idea is to a) show through whose young, budding musicians what it will be like to have a position in a professional orchestra, b) to heart the enrich their musical experiences with hard work, professional and renowned conductors, and whispering of the symphonic music to die for, and c) to teach them the joy of music. This is exactly what happens. hours turns to music.” National Music Camp was this year directed by harpist Marshall McGuire and consisted of three distinguished conductors; contemporary specialist Baldur Bronnimann, chamber musician and soloist Ian Swensen, and the ever lovable and indefatigable Richard Gill. Under these three ~ Kahlil Gibran ~ masters, 250 youths formed three orchestras to play their way through some equally masterly ______repertoire by Debussy, Prokofiev, Strauss, Stravinsky, and I could go on.
The Australian Youth Orchestra seasons attract world class conductors. Rossen Milanov conducted Season 1 this year; repertoire consisting of the great Mahler Symphony No 1, the exquisite Rachmaninov Symphonic Dances and the quirky Bernstein Overture to Candide. Season 2 will be conducted by John Nelson and the repertoire will be the continuation of the Beethoven cycle.
Of course, I cannot talk about youth instrumentalists without mentioning State Music Camp. Adelaide hosts the State Music Camp every year to great success, with an even younger age group getting treated to a week of symphonic and also wind orchestral music. To be surrounded and saturated by such amazing music can only be beneficial for flute students, as the experience of State and National Music Camps are truly one you will never forget.
by Helen Seppelt
The Australian Youth Orchestra runs two programmes for music students under the age of 18, Young Symphonists ‘Strings’ and Young Symphonists ‘Woodwind, Brass and Percussion. I was very lucky to be one of only three flute players to be selected for this year’s programme, and ON OUR WEBSITE I was the only person from South Australia in the ‘Woodwind, Brass and Percussion’. We spent the last week of March staying in an old lunatic asylum (I’m not joking here!) in • Membership Beechworth, Victoria, having intensive tuition mostly in playing chamber music, but also going information through some orchestral repertoire (without strings). • How to contribute to and advertise in We were put into three ensembles and each ensemble was assigned a piece of music to prepare this newsletter for a public concert at the end of the week. The three pieces were Five Ancient Dances by Ferenc Farkas, Malcolm Arnold’s Three Sea Shanties and the Nielsen Wind Quintet. • Links Considering none of us had ever met each other before, and we were all from different states, the • Helpful articles pieces came together really well over the week, and we very much enjoyed performing in the • How to contact us concert. We had fantastic tutors from all over Australia, and I got a lot out of what they all taught us about playing chamber music.
The flute tutor was Mardi McSullea. The Nielsen Wind Quintet will always be a special piece of music for me, as I associate it with the most wonderful week of my life so far! I met lots of other young music students from all over Australia, and we’re all trying to keep in touch with each other. Hopefully as the years pass we will meet up again at events such as National Music Camp.
I have had a special interest in chamber music since I attended a summer woodwind school organised by Elizabeth Koch at the Conservatorium three years ago and participated in a wind ensemble, so this programme was of particular interest to me; anyone with a real love of playing chamber music would love it.
