The 2011 MYM Summer School offers a range of ensemble and specialist programs and a meeting place for young musicians. With one of Australia’s foremost music educators, Richard Gill, as the inaugural Artistic Director, the 2011 Summer School is shaping up to be the most exciting yet!
Standards range from beginner levels right through to AMEB Grade 8+. No matter what your level of musical skill, there is an ensemble to suit and a program that will encourage and inspire.
Each ensemble will undertake an intensive rehearsal program guided by esteemed conductors and tutors. The program begins with all ensembles attending full rehearsal and concludes with an Open Workshop at the Melbourne Town Hall, Saturday 22 January. A Showcase Performance by the Music Theatre and Stage Band ensembles is scheduled for Friday evening 21 January at BMW Edge, Federation Square.

It is with sadness that we write to advise the passing of Miss Mona Harris OAM early on 20th May 2008.
Miss Harris OAM joined the Melbourne Newsboys Club in 1956 as Assistant Secretary to Mr. Norman Craig, and for 22 years supervised all the daily club activities. In 1973 the Foundation and Trust were formed, and on the retirement of Mr. Craig in 1975, Miss Harris OAM took up the appointment of Executive Officer.
On Australia Day 1985 Miss Harris OAM was awarded the Order of Australia Medal in recognition of her services to youth work. On May 1, 1986 Miss Harris completed 30 years service with the Melbourne Newsboys Club. She retired from the role of Executive Officer on 1 August 1986.
Miss Harris OAM was appointed a Director of the Melbourne Newsboys Club Foundation in 1988 and retired in 2004.
Over the years Miss Harris showed dedication and passion for her work and became a valuable figure in the area of youth and welfare services. She will be sadly missed.
