<strong>APO</strong> CONNECTING<br />
“I definitely want to pursue a career in music. It’s<br />
something that I’m really passionate about. It’s like the<br />
colour in a movie – it’s what brings joy to my life.”<br />
Elena began playing the violin six years<br />
ago and is now extensively involved<br />
in the Whangarei music community.<br />
Her experiences at <strong>APO</strong>’s Orchestral<br />
Holiday Programme and the <strong>APO</strong><br />
Community Play-in have helped<br />
support and shape her desire to<br />
become a professional musician.<br />
“It’s inspirational seeing professionals<br />
perform, the way they move, the way<br />
they hold themselves, and their level<br />
of playing. It means a lot because it<br />
gives me a goal personally.”<br />
In the Orchestral Holiday<br />
Programme, <strong>APO</strong> musicians<br />
mentor participants in school<br />
years 7-13 through lessons,<br />
workshops and rehearsals.<br />
For Elena, this has inspired<br />
her to understand what she can<br />
achieve and how she can grow and<br />
become something more as a player.<br />
