Mitchell Conservatory [MitCon] students had a rare opportunity this past weekend to learn from classical musicians who perform regularly in Sydney and across the state.

The Sydney Symphony Orchestra [SSO]who were in town last week to perform music by Russian composer Tchaikovsky at the Bathurst Memorial Entertainment Center, stopped by MitCon on Saturday to hold free workshops with students.

MitCon professor Phil Braithwaite said it was an invaluable opportunity for students to learn from some of the nation’s most seasoned musicians.

“Students were able to learn from musicians who are at the top of their game,” Mr. Braithwaite said.

“To hear people like Joshua Batty [SSO principal flute] discussing the techniques behind sound and compositional intent was just one example of the value SSO members brought to these workshops.”

Mr Braithwaite said MitCon students always benefit from exposure to elite Australian musicians every time they stop by.

“Elite musicians have the abilities to work with a wide range of students, from beginners to those with more experience,” he said.

“The exposure of these children is essential.”
