The honours programme is an opportunity to come together and work collegially, and to work with two highly respected music educators. Places may be limited and organisers will have the final say when placing applicants in each ensemble. To apply you need to be grade 7 level or above, or equivalent NZEA playing experience. Our goal is to create two ensembles of the highest standard, but in our selection process we also strive to represent a range of Auckland schools and aim to give opportunities to a range of our finest young musicians. All students will receive a certificate to mark their participation. We would also ask that all successful applicants attend the session wearing school uniform as this is a great way for outstanding musicians to represent their schools. A number of commemorative photographs will be taken of this event and these will be readily available to schools/students via the KBB Music Festival Facebook page.
