The 36th ANNUAL STRING WORKSHOP for Primary and Secondary Students will be held at
Blackburn High School on
30 November - 2 December 2026
REGISTRATIONS OPEN EARLY NOVEMBER
Our recent String Workshop Concert was a wonderful success, showcasing the hard work and talent of students from across the region. After a full day of rehearsals, students came together to perform with confidence, teamwork, and an impressive standard of musicianship.
Audience members were highly appreciative, and the atmosphere was warm and supportive. A huge thank-you goes to our dedicated conductors and tutors, who not only led rehearsals with expertise but also helped with all the behind-the-scenes setup that made the event run smoothly. We are also grateful to our host, Blackburn High School and their staff for their support.
Congratulations to all students involved — we look forward to welcoming everyone back for next year’s workshop.
