24.01.2022 "In 1962, the first "May Music Camp" took place - a much smaller event than in 2012, but the seed from which the subsequent half-century of camps grew and flowered. Now, with nearly 300 students, 5 ensembles and a staff of over 40 conductors, tutors & administrators, State Music Camp is an integral and revered part of South Australia's musical life." - Peter Webb OAM, Director 2009-2017

06.01.2022 SA State Music Camp and COVID-19 We write to provide information regarding the live audition process scheduled to take place mid-May, and the Music Camp event occurring early July. The government announcement of the restriction on indoor gatherings of 100 people or more, and the recommendation to maintain social distancing will inevitably have an impact on our auditions in May, and most likely the rehearsals and concert in July. In addition, the current travel bans in force... affect two of our conductors coming from interstate and overseas to South Australia. Considering these restrictions on our activities and the advanced planning required to stage an event such as this, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 SA Music Camp. Applicants who have paid the audition fee will be contacted in due course by our Treasurer who will provide a full refund. We are all genuinely saddened to cancel the Music Camp however as the situation with respect to COVID-19 continues to evolve, the health and safety of absolutely everyone remains our highest priority. We thank you for your support of this wonderful institution now in its 58th year and we’ll continue to stay in communication as the situation develops in the ensuing months. We look forward to your participation in the future. Sincerely Committee of the SA Music Camp Association Inc.
