Aspiring Musicians Programme

Applications are open!

The Auckland Philharmonia Aspiring Musicians Programme is made possible through a partnership with the University of Auckland, providing student musicians the opportunity to perform in a diverse range of concerts and venues across Tāmaki Makaurau. Centred on creating a path for young musicians seeking a professional performance career, this programme not only offers invaluable experience to musicians, but also helps them build connections with other businesses, creatives, and industries around the city.

The Aspiring Musicians Programme welcomes musicians of any age or genre, inviting students that play in all types of chamber groups or ensembles. It offers both unique and paid performance opportunities.
