Music and Performing Arts
The Music and Performing Arts group fosters collaborations between our team of people in music, drama, scenography and performance design.
Our Bachelor of Music and Performing Arts prepares students to become performance artists, songwriters, composers, directors, producers, scenographers, theatre experience makers and teachers, enabling them to take on diverse professional roles. The distinctive music programs at The Conservatorium not only host an innovative suite of events each year but also help train the musicians of the future.
We engage our city and region through groundbreaking new research in our centre of applied chaos FASTlab, which fosters new funded projects each year.
