BUNINYONG Primary School students will travel to Melbourne to perform their own compositions on Monday, 26 November.<\/p>\n
Buninyong Maestros is a free lunchtime concert at Melbourne\u2019s iconic MPavilion, featuring 17 students from Buninyong Primary School performing their original compositions, accompanied by chamber ensemble the New Palm Court Orchestra.
\nBuninyong Maestros is a unique collaboration between the New Palm Court Orchestra and regional Victoria\u2019s Buninyong Primary School.<\/p>\n
The concert is the culmination of NPCO artistic director Gemma Turvey\u2019s extensive improvisation and composition program Maestro & Me with Buninyong Primary School, where she coaches students in creating and discovering their own music with inspiring results.<\/p>\n
Now approaching its third consecutive year, the Maestro & Me program has already significantly contributed to an increase in general classroom participation, student self-confidence and self-esteem and basic school attendance rates for participating students.<\/p>\n
Gemma Turvey says it is with such pride that NPCO shares the stage with these brave, creative and very inspiring young musicians.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is so much beautiful music in their young hearts and minds,\u201d says Ms Turvey.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe more time I spend with these students, the more I am convinced of the importance of encouraging composition and improvisation at this pivotal age.\u201d<\/p>\n
This will be the students\u2019 debut performance in Melbourne. Audiences to Buninyong Maestros can expect pieces about pet dogs, dragons, bugs, the ocean, the seasons and \u2018just being me\u2019.<\/p>\n
Come and support these brave young musicians-in-the-making and be inspired yourself as you hear their delightful songs come to life at MPavilion, supported by Buninyong & District Community Bank.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
