Viola Scholarship 2024

MetSO Loves Viola!

The velvety voice of the Viola traditionally sits in the middle of most ensembles (string quartet / orchestral), but in the modern era it is oft coming to the fore, and being recognised in both its acoustic and electric form as a star in its own right - with its exquisite amber tones.

There has sometimes been a misconception that the viola is somehow a lesser cousin to the violin; but as was well articulated recently in a prominent Australian strings magazine, those in the know recommended Viola to be taken up by the strongest of our aspiring musicians.

We are pleased to offer a Viola Scholarship. The Scholarship will cover

  • Free loan of our instrument for 12 months (a full sized student viola donated by the Charnley Family)

  • MetSO ensemble fees for 12 months

Applications are open to anyone in the community regardless of prior musical experience.

Applications close Friday 5th of July 2024.

Applications Now Closed.


A wonderful example of the beauty of the Viola, and the artistry of Jeremy Green :
