Link Up: The Orchestra Moves

Presenter Suzy Cato

Primary & intermediate schools join forces to play and sing with the Auckland Philharmonia in concert! In this free programme, schools across Tāmaki Makaurau learn a set of songs on voice or their instrument of choice using resources provided by Carnegie Hall (New York), before coming together to play along with the orchestra and legendary children's entertainer Suzy Cato!

Carnegie Hall’s Link Up program pairs orchestras worldwide with schools in their local communities, providing students and their teachers with the resources to learn about, listen to, and perform great music. Link Up provides a free, high-quality yearlong curriculum that teachers can implement, along with teaching materials, online video and audio resources, and the professional development and support necessary to make the program an engaging experience for students.

Auckland Phil have partnered with Carnegie Hall to bring this programme to Aotearoa for 8 years, and for the first time ever it will be performed in the prestigious Auckland Town Hall in 2027.
