Fresh from a very successful week-long Summer School, the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra's Director of Connecting, Tom Hamill, talks with Bryan Crump about the orchestra's community engagement programme for 2023.
"We need to demonstrate that we are relevant," says Tom.
“In order for us to do that, we need to grow beyond performing... in the concert hall and inspire the next generation of player or listener.”
