Monash Academy Orchestra

Monash Academy Orchestra (MAO) is a symphony orchestra based on the Monash University Clayton campus providing a unique musical journey for students within the Sir Zelman Cowen School of Music and Performance as well as musicians from the wider university community. You will have the opportunity to meet and work with like-minded musicians, and experience extraordinary music first hand. Entry to the orchestra is by audition, and is open to all Monash students – students do not necessarily need to be enrolled in a Bachelor of Music in order to be eligible to audition. The orchestra currently has a large number of members from a range of different faculties, including Arts, Medicine, Law, Commerce, Engineering and Education. The MAO is committed to performing the work of Australian composers. To this end, a new work from an Australian composer is commissioned by Monash Performing Arts Centres each year, and premiered by the MAO.
