Overview

During the Music - Orchestral Performance program at University of Melbourne, you’ll participate in ensembles and classes at the Conservatorium as you gain industry experience with professionals in side-by-side projects, as well as in elective placement opportunities with our industry partners.

You’ll enjoy comprehensive opportunities to develop as a well-rounded performer in solo, orchestral, and chamber music performance: all students study all three repertoires as a core part of this program, and you can pursue additional orchestral or chamber music training through electives.

With individual lessons in every semester of your degree, you’ll receive high-level training that refines your orchestral instrument performance skills. Then you’ll showcase your talents in end-of-semester performances, including concerto performances and recitals of solo and chamber works.

You’ll also advance your specialised skills in orchestral performance as you:

Participate in symphonic ensembles throughout the program
Undertake targeted preparations for the orchestra audition process in core and elective subjects

Enrich your knowledge and interpretational perspectives on the orchestral repertoire
