Many of our ensembles are regularly selected to perform at the Sydney Opera House alongside the best groups that the state education system has to offer. Often ensembles are selected to perform for a variety of high profile occasions such as the Director General's farewell at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, The State Literacy Conference Opening and many D.E.T. functions at selected venues.
