Ensembles
The School of Music - Conservatorium has an active ensemble program and students from all faculties may obtain credit for their degrees through participation in one of the Schools Ensembles. Participation in performing ensembles gives you the opportunity to continue building the skills and knowledge such as that gained in secondary school ensembles. The ensembles regularly give public concerts, frequently with overseas and local guest soloists, ensembles and conductors.
