Music Theatre performance must go on
Music Theatre students at the ³ÉÈË´óƬ are adapting to online learning, performing together in class exercises from the ‘socially distant’ safety of their own homes.
Students have this week recorded a performance of ‘’ from the musical Once on this Island as a means of keeping connected during the global COVID-19 pandemic.
George Torbay, Head of Music Theatre at the University’s Elder Conservatorium of Music, says he and his staff have devised a range of creative approaches to make online study possible.Â
The piece the students have recorded this week expresses the simple joy of what makes the world extraordinary; it celebrates life and all that the earth possesses and I told them to just have fun with it!George Torbay, Head of Music at the University's Elder Convservatorium
