Hobart Town Hall
From $15
Individual students and school groups are invited to join us for this festival first.
Learn from special guest conductor Dr Anthony Trecek-King in this exciting workshop for secondary and tertiary students. Participants will work through carefully selected repertoire and learn skills while finding musical connections and enjoying a relaxed and inclusive atmosphere.
As a conductor and clinician, Anthony Trecek-King has earned international acclaim for conducting choirs and orchestras throughout the world. An incredibly personable teacher, Anthony’s approach to teaching others is to “meet folks where they are and then move forward from there”. He encourages individuals to step outside their comfort zones and experience something new!
No experience is necessary – just bring your enthusiasm, come along and join in!
School groups are most welcome. Contact [email protected] for further details.
