At the Royal Academy of Music in London, High Commissioner to the UK, the Hon Stephen Smith announced a new international agreement between Melbourne Symphony Orchestra (MSO) and the Royal Academy of Music.

　　The three-year program heralds extraordinary international opportunities for Australian and British musicians studying at the MSO Academy and the Royal Academy, two esteemed institutions that are working to further strengthen cross-cultural exchange between Australia and the UK.

　　With the first intake to commence in 2025, the MSO Academy and Royal Academy will take part in an annual exchange program that will facilitate up to five members of each Academy spending 10-14 days with their international counterparts, deepening people-to-people links across the Australian and British music industry.

　　While in residence, the members will have the opportunity to rehearse and perform with their hosts and receive lessons from relevant Academy faculty. Members will collaborate on a chamber music project that will include public performances in London and Melbourne with a program that features a new work written for the ensemble by MSO’s Cybec Young Composer in Residence and one work written by a Royal Academy composition student.

　　The MSO-Royal Academy of Music partnership continues to build on the legacy of the UK/Australia Season of Culture 2021/2022 jointly led by DFAT and the British Council.
