The NZDO is always keen to hear from new players. If you are interested in playing with us, join our mailing list.
Enrolments open a few months before each concert. We’ll let you know when applications open.
Players are selected by the conductor, on the basis of the information provided on the enrolment form. Our selection policy aims to foster both high quality and inclusiveness within the orchestra.
We are keen to feature players from within our ranks to solo in a concerto in future years. If you’d like to be considered as a soloist, or know someone who would be suitable, let us know. We’d like potential soloists to prepare a recording of a movement of their preferred concerto (with piano accompaniment) and we’ll ask the conductor to choose a soloist (and item) that would suit.
