ABOUT APO CONNECTING
APO Connecting’s philosophy is that ‘Music opens
Minds’. Music can improve your wellbeing and help
promote a sense of community, belonging and
cultural fulfilment.
APO Connecting connects the Orchestra’s professional
players with families, schools, aspiring musicians and
communities in a flagship programme that is the envy
of many other orchestras and widely applauded by
educators and community leaders. We inspire young
musicians, connect music makers and music lovers of
the present and the future, and offer concerts,
workshops and tutorials.
From introductory music sessions for pre-schoolers to
professional development and mentoring for aspiring
musicians, composers and conductors, APO
Connecting presents orchestral music concerts and
experiences suited to a wide range of needs and
interests.
Through APO Connecting, the APO links to all
sections of our community:
Every dollar invested in APO Connecting programmes delivers $12.30 of
measurable good to NZ society, which equates to $2,669,571 of
measurable good every year.
