Sharing your music

Do you have a song in you? Would you like to share it with the world? Mitchell Conservatorium's Composition Competition gives you the opportunity to do just that. You can even share a piece of music which you have composed for a school assignment.

All the details are here on our website.

12th October is the closing date, so you could finish off your masterpiece during the spring school holidays.

There are some great prizes, ranging from $100 to $350.

Have you got a song in you?

Armchair Concert

Did you know that several Mitchell Conservatorium musicians are presenting programs on our local community radio station, 2MCE ? Christine Sweeney and David McKay present Mitchell Conservatorium's own fortnightly program, Armchair Concert.

You can hear highlights of Mitchell Con concerts, every second Monday, from 1.30 to 3.30 PM. We have played a wide variety of quality performances on our program so far, including a wonderful concert by Ensemble Six, a Central West string sextet, music by duo pianists, Max and Hayden Reeder, and new compositions by Jamie Briton and Russell Gilmour.

On our next program, on Monday, 17th September, we will play some of these again, because we think they're worth a second play ... and maybe you didn't hear them first time round.

You might also like to listen to Oliver Harris presenting Great Sounds in Music on Tuesday evenings from 8 to 10 PM. Oliver is a terrific brass player and composer, but also a pleasant guide to the world of music, as you'll discover when you tune in.

And David McKay presents a weekly album show called Gontroppo's Grooves, on Tuesdays, from 1.30 to 3.30 PM

You can listen to all of these programs at 2MCE.org
, on 92.3 or 94.7 on your radio, and on the smartphone tunein app
