Cuskelly School of Music - 2025 International Summer School | 6-17 Jan 2025
St Laurence's will be hosting the 2025 International Music Summer School between Monday January 6 and Friday January 17. About 500 musicians from throughout Australia and overseas will come to the college to refine their playing, singing, and teaching skills. Please look at the brochure to see the quality of the international and Australian lecturers who are coming to Brisbane for the event.
Mr Lowrie has negotiated a huge 50% reduction in the course cost for St Laurence's students. This brings the cost of the summer school to $385- for primary students for the two weeks.
Information on how to access the discount can be found on the Lauries App under the ‘Music’ tab.
On behalf of the Music Department, we’d like to thank our young musicians and their families for your hard work and support throughout the year.
We wish everyone a safe and happy holiday and look forward to working with you all next year.
