25.01.2022 UPDATE: Due to safety reasons, the Music Performance Unit is unfortunately not able to run most of its ensembles face-to-face in Term 3. This decision has been taken on advice from UNSW Risk in consultation with NSW Health. Although we are very sad to not be working with most of our musicians in person, the care and safety of our university community is paramount. The MPU will be offering: Orchestral Strings a string ensemble opportunity with blended delivery of face-to-f...ace and online. Current UNSWO string players should go to our website for more information and to register. https://www.music.unsw.edu.au/instrumental/unsw-orchestra Collegium Musicum Choir Online we will be working on Britten’s A Ceremony of Carols in a weekly rehearsal each Wednesday.

06.01.2022 Today is our beloved colleague Yvette Goodchild’s last day at UNSW. The recent impact of the pandemic on universities has been well-documented, as was the announcement of anticipated job losses at UNSW. Yvette is taking this opportunity of a changing environment to step out of her role with the MPU. Yvette has been a wonderful colleague to all those who have worked with the MPU over the past twelve years including our many guest artists, and a mentor to many young artsworke...rs who have moved through our workplace. We all wish her well as she moves on to new adventures, and shares her generous spirit with other people fortunate enough to cross her path. https://www.music.unsw.edu.au/new-stepping-stone-yvette%E2%

01.01.2022 "But the thing about artists, and musicians, and dancers, and anyone within the arts is that we are what are we? We’re creative. And what is creativity? It’s the capacity to invent. We have invented the most extraordinary things as a response to the pandemic. In some ways it’s been terrible, devastating, but there’s been resilience, and renewal, and resurgence, and it’s just been amazing." - UNSW Art & Design Professor Anna Munster tells us what silver linings she has found in 2020.
