Specialised professional development for advanced musicians at the tertiary and postgraduate level.

The Canberra Symphony Orchestra’s (CSO) Kingsland Fellowship for tertiary and postgraduate musicians encompasses solo, chamber and orchestral playing, audition preparation, and career development. The program inspires artistic excellence and creates pathways to professional performance and other arts industry opportunities.

Through a competitive audition process, we identify outstanding students who are motivated to expand their skills and contribute meaningfully to their community.

The CSO offers this training in a supportive environment, tailored to the unique artistic path and goals of each Fellow.

Eligibility

  • All ACT tertiary and post-graduate students, including those studying non-music programs.
  • All orchestral instruments, including piano, harp and percussion.
  • Current CSO musicians are not eligible to apply. Musicians can remain in the Fellowship program if they pass a CSO audition at any point after acceptance of a Fellowship position.
  • Previous Kingsland Fellowship recipients may re-apply.
