You can help provide the music scores that we need for the Auckland Philharmonia's 2027 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.
A huge thank you to the late Ken Porter, who bequeathed a significant donation to the orchestra's Notes Fund when he sadly passed away late last year. Ken had a lifelong love of the arts, especially music, ballet, opera and theatre, and was a regular attendee of our concerts. In recognition of Ken's contribution, the new title of our Notes Fund for the next three years is 'The Kenneth Porter Notes Fund'. Ken's contribution is hugely appreciated, but we still need your help in order to provide the scores for our 2027 Season!
As a Notes Fund donor, you will receive an invitation to the annual “Meet the Librarian” morning tea and library tour, recognition on our website and in our donor programmes, and if you fund a specific piece of music, your support will be recognised in the conductor’s copy of the score.
