Sydney Symphony Fellowship

Designed to give the next generation of professional musicians the best springboard to a career in music.

Our Fellows have the opportunity to be inspired by musical greats – while on the path to becoming leading musicians themselves.

For over 21 years the Sydney Symphony have been dedicated to developing the next generation of professional orchestral musicians through holistic learning and a hands-on approach.

The year-long program lays the groundwork through intense preparation and training, including masterclasses with globally renowned artists, dedicated mentorship from the Sydney Symphony’s musicians, and the opportunity to explore a range of diverse musical styles in chamber and orchestral performances, including mainstage and regional programs.

We support our Fellows with further development of technical skills, insights into career management and audition preparation – helping them to develop sustainable and rewarding careers.
