Our Emerging Artist Program connects young, professional musicians at the outset of their careers with the ACO through one-to-one mentorship and side-by-side performance opportunities.
This successful program has seen Emerging Artist alumni go on to perform with ACO on the mainstage and seven alumni have been appointed members of the Orchestra, most recently Stefanie Farrands to the position of Principal Viola.
