After the success of 2008, the 2009 Akaroa Summer Festival is designed to stimulate, educate and enthuse advanced young musicians from all over New Zealand and abroad. An array of distinguished international musicians and tutors will provide inspiring daily lessons, masterclasses and concerts.

These intensive 9 days of music making will also offer solo performances, chamber music and a string orchestra in one of New Zealand’s most breathtaking seaside towns where work is mixed with pleasure. Students are invited to apply on the following instruments: violin, viola, cello, piano, recorder and voice.

Do not miss out on this experience of the excellent Akaroa Summer Festival in the heart of the remarkable Banks Peninsula.
