Emerging Artists '27

Meet Aotearoa New Zealand’s brightest young musicians as they step into the spotlight with the national orchestra. Emerging Artists gives outstanding school-age performers an extraordinary opportunity: to appear as concerto soloists with the NZSO or to play side by side with its professional musicians in a full public concert. The result is an evening filled with fresh energy, bold ambition and the excitement of talent taking flight.

For the young artists, it is a defining musical experience; for audiences, it is a chance to discover future stars at the beginning of their journeys.

Come and support the next generation, share in their achievement and experience familiar repertoire renewed by youthful imagination. This accessible concert celebrates mentorship, excellence and the enduring future of orchestral music in Aotearoa.
