ANAM is dedicated to training the most exceptional young classical musicians from Australia and NZ.
The Australian National Academy of Music (ANAM) is an international, dynamic and outward-facing cultural institution, training and performance company, with a demonstrated commitment to engaging with its communities. Accepting musicians from across Australia and New Zealand, it is internationally renowned as the only purely performance-based classical music training academy in Australia, and one o
f the few in the world. ANAM’s intensive schedule brings together a global network of artists and performers, alongside an esteemed Faculty, who provide invaluable mentorship and guidance for emerging young musicians through public performances, masterclasses and other programmes. ANAM alumni are found in many of the world’s leading orchestras and ensembles, perform as soloists and contribute to educating the next generation of musicians. In addition, ANAM has industry partnerships with organisations including the Australian Chamber Orchestra, the Sydney, Tasmanian, Melbourne and West Australian Symphony Orchestras, the Auckland Philharmonia, Musica Viva Australia, a range of national music and arts festivals, and internationally with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, the Bavarian State Opera Orchestra, Mahler Chamber Orchestra and London’s Royal College of Music. ANAM is a member of the Australian Government-funded Arts8 group of performing arts training organisations who are committed to providing the high level and intense studio-based training necessary to ensuring that the performing arts sector has a pipeline of creative talent that will enable it to continue telling stories for generations. ANAM respectfully acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands spread across Australia on which we work and live. We uphold and honour their continued relationship to these sites, we pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging, and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples.
