Dr Peter Mor­ris is the Dir­ector of Music at Vil­lan­ova Col­lege and runs the annual Queens­land Cath­olic Schools and Col­leges Music Fest­ival. He is a lec­turer in con­duct­ing at the Queens­land Con­ser­vat­orium and has been the res­id­ent con­ductor of the Qld Youth Orches­tra Wind Sym­phony and the Young Con­ser­vat­orium Wind Orches­tra.

Peter’s second present­a­tion for QBOC2010 was ‘Sta­ging epic concerts’–a vari­ety of ideas to take what would ordin­ar­ily be a mundane exper­i­ence for the audi­ence and turn it into some­thing spe­cial they will remem­ber long after. Peter’s exper­i­ence at run­ning huge fest­ivals (such as the Queens­land Cath­olic Schools and Col­leges Music Fest­ival) was evid­ent from his present­a­tion and del­eg­ates were left with the feel­ing that they too can turn their school con­certs into an exper­i­ence that both stu­dents and par­ents will appre­ci­ate more.
