Help take our musicians to the world stage
An experience like this is life enhancing, one takes away incredible inspirations, makes life long connections with your Australian peers, learning life skills of resilience and collaboration, and opens your eyes to the wider world. Whether or not an orchestral career is ahead of you, this type of experience at a young age is totally unique, and a great opportunity and privilege.
