We are excited to offer students in both Junior and Senior Wind Ensembles at the Central Coast Conservatorium the opportunity to go on tour to Gerringong - Wollongong over 3 days (Fri-Sun) 1-3 August Term 3 of 2025.

Over 3 days the ensembles will deliver school concert performances, collaborate and workshop with students from the Wollongong Regional Conservatorium, culminating in a public concert in Wollongong on the final day.

In our search to provide great experiences for musical growth and inspiration for our students, ensemble touring has always been on our to-do list. The development and educational outcomes that music students gain on these tours can be incredible, create lasting memories and build enduring friendships with like-minded students.

The tour environment offers our young musicians the chance to focus on their craft, improving their performance and teamwork skills while sharing ideas and the experience through cultural engagement with local students that can provide new perspectives and foster growth both as an ensemble and individually.

The tour group will stay at Chittick Lodge accommodation in beautiful Gerringong, just south of Wollongong. Amidst the music concerts, workshops, rehearsals and other activities planned throughout the tour, the group will also enjoy some downtime on a beach walk and do some sightseeing around the picturesque town of Gerringong.
