Viola Scholarship 2024
Applications Now Closed
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.
