Notes Fund

You can help provide the music scores that we need for the Auckland Philharmonia's 2025 season.

It seems a simple observation to make, but for the hundreds of pieces of music that the Auckland Philharmonia performs each year, every player needs a score on their stand to guide them. The Auckland Philharmonia spends over $40,000 per annum on scores. This fund enables Auckland Philharmonia supporters to share the joy of music with others either by donating towards a specific score or making a general donation.

It is important for the orchestra to purchase scores outright rather than hiring them whenever possible.

It means we can preserve all our own string bowings and other performance markings that are particular to our orchestra, so we don’t have to waste more time than necessary preparing the music for subsequent performances.
