What is Music That Matters?
We are thrilled to introduce 'Music That Matters' Music Camp, taking place in August at Peterhouse Girls in Marondera. This week-long residential program, affectionately known as 'MTM' Music Camp, is designed for musicians of all skill levels, from beginners to advanced players.
Participants will engage in a variety of activities including workshops, rehearsals for concert pieces, and a final performance that highlights the accomplishments of the week. Our diverse offerings include Orchestra, Choral, Marimba, and Band programs, all leading up to an exciting grand finale concert. Set against the serene backdrop of Peterhouse Girls, attendees will enjoy a comfortable environment with access to both indoor and outdoor facilities, allowing for a well-rounded experience of music-making and collaboration with fellow musicians.
We look forward to welcoming you to this year’s camp!

After a successful camp in 2018 in collaboration with the National Musicamp Association of Zimbabwe we joined our forces together again in 2019. A fun filled week of music making. Our guest facilitator for the band camp was the lovely Hope Masike the mbira princess of Zimbabwe. We thank her for sparing her time to share with the next generation of Musicians.
