These students will participate in an intense six-day orchestral course, run by the Christchurch Itinerant Music Teachers in the second week of the April school holidays, culminating in two public performances. 

This course is widely regarded as a significant training ground for young players aspiring to membership of the New Zealand Youth Orchestra and ultimately to a career as a professional musician.
