The main goal of our education programme is to inspire, encourage and educate people of all ages in the enjoyment of music. To continue to expand our programme nationwide, we urgently need to commit greater resources to this important part of NZSO activity.
“There is a massive amount of musical aptitude in New Zealand communities, regardless of whether they are urban or rural, high or low decile. Regrettably, our school system does not currently have the resources to empower that talent. That is where the NZSO’s education programme – and, in particular, broad family-based events like the Melvin Tix tour – can help. Opening up the world of music to young people brings rewards that go beyond the enjoyment of musical performance. Studies have shown that children who discover their own musical talent have increased self esteem and, as a consequence, achieve more in other areas of learning”.
Peter Walls, Chief Executive Officer
New Zealand Symphony Orchestra
As corporates have long realised, investing in the communities where their employees and customers live and work makes good business sense and the NZSO is serious about investing in the future of our community too. Through our passion for music, we bring a breadth of learning and enrichment to the lives of people of all ages, experiences and backgrounds.
Our Education team and many of our players work with a wide range of people of all ages, socio-economic backgrounds, and ethnicity.
