A Decade of Rhythm! A Republic of Sound

  • Abbotsford Convent (map)

Tin is the traditional metal marking a 10-year anniversary. So, too, is it the flashy and proud symbol of a decade of percussion at the Australian National Academy of Music. When the percussion program launched in 2013, ANAM achieved its goal of offering training on every orchestral instrument. To celebrate, the percussion musicians, faculty, and alumni - led by Head of Percussion, Peter Neville - present a kaleidoscopic concert series.
