It is said that music is universal and has the ability to heal, and Director of the Orange Regional Conservatorium, Mr Graham Sattler, believes this more than ever after his recent overseas study tour. Mr Sattler will present an international example of ensemble music programs, designed to encourage socio-cultural development, at a public lecture to be held at the Orange Campus of Charles Sturt University (CSU), on Wednesday 6 August. Mr Sattler is beating a different drum after returning from a study tour to South America, including Bolivia, where ‘revolutionary’ music programs are encouraging social harmony, community integration and self-esteem. Mr Sattler will compare models and explore the potential and challenges of translating the principles behind these programs to Australia.
