Clarinet and Saxophone Mega Day

We’re inviting clarinet and saxophone players to join us for workshops, masterclasses, rehearsals and performances with our incredible Mega Ensembles directed by David Griffiths and Joseph Lallo. Participants will engage in workshops, masterclasses, rehearsals, meet with like-minded musicians and perform some incredible music with our Mega Ensembles.

We have an incredible line up of national and international guest artists and lots of exciting performances planned throughout the day. Please additionally select the Concert General Admission ticket type if you wish to attend the concert.

Event information

Observer/Parent/Guardian Passes

Observer passes are available to those who wish to attend the day without participating in the rehearsals and concert performance.

Parent/Guardian passes are available for those who wish to attend the day alongside a participant aged 17 years and younger. Attendees aged 14 and under are required to have a parent/guardian or teacher attend with them.

PARKING

The City of Melbourne has recently changed the parking restrictions around the Southbank Campus. Parking control hours are now expanded to 7am–10pm, seven days per week, and are capped at three hours. A $2-per-hour fee after 7pm is also now in place. There is no change to the $4-per-hour peak rate between 7am–7pm. Parking inspectors are regularly in the area fining drivers who overstay their meter, so we encourage everyone to be aware and avoid an expensive fine.

ACCESSIBILITY

All venues at the Southbank campus are wheelchair accessible. To read more about access services available at our venues, please visit: https://finearts-music.unimelb.edu.au/access-our-events.
