Secondary students are paired 1:1 with an Auckland Phil musician in this free two-day course of rehearsals, finishing off with a performance in the University of Auckland School of Music Theatre!
Experience rehearsals with a professional orchestra and conductor and get a taste for what tertiary musical training is like at the University of Auckland. The course will be led by NZ Assistant Conductor-in-Residence Reuben Brown, and will feature Haydn Staples Piano Scholar Madeleine Xiao. Students will be paired with an Auckland Philharmonia musician who will play alongside them and offer mentorship in a separate sectional.
We'll also welcome lecturers from the School of Music to give talks on life as a music student at the University of Auckland.
This is a fantastic opportunity to access in-depth mentoring from professional musicians, make new musical connections and explore future educational pathways!
