21 – 24 January 2025
Massey High School
Join other young musicians from all over Auckland and the wider region for four days of music making.
Students receive coaching from professional musicians and get to choose elective activities like jazz band, symphony orchestra, composition and conducting. All of this comes together for a public concert on the final evening. Students come away from this event with heaps of enthusiasm for playing music and greater confidence for returning to their school bands and orchestras.
We are excited to welcome tutors from both the Royal NZ Navy Band and the Auckland Philharmonia, who will be leading workshops during the week.
The programme is intended for Intermediate and High School aged musicians and is structured to cater to a wide range of music abilities. It is open to strings, brass, woodwind, and percussion musicians playing at grade 2 level or above.
This is a NON-RESIDENTIAL camp and the cost for the week is $120. Players will need to be dropped off and collected from camp each day and will not be allowed to leave the premises without permission. Participants will need to bring their own food and drink each day.
