MUSIC
Each year students from the Sydney Conservatorium of Music come to Dorrigo to perform for the Dorrigo community.? They also visit the schools, delighting pupils with their informal approach in describing their instruments and giving them an introduction to classical music.?
Performing to an audience is a great experience for the students and these concerts are always a pleasurable experience for Dorrigo music lovers.
Each?month a?"Classical Music on DVD" screening is held in the basement cinema at Mount Christopherson, Bostobrick.?
These occur on the third Sunday of the month at 2pm.? A gold coin donation is appreciated towards costs.? Please bring some afternoon tea to share.? Tea and coffee are provided.?
