A rare opportunity to launch a career in the arts sector, through paid apprenticeships, is being offered by the Wakatipu Music Festival in partnership with the Three Lakes Cultural Trust.
The festival, presented by the Hill family, was announced last July to replace this year’s 11th edition of the Michael Hill International Violin Competition.
It’s run every two years since 2001, with Queenstown hosting the first two rounds before the finals in Auckland.
But given the impacts of Covid on global travel, the event’s board made the early call last year to can the 2021 event, replacing it with the classical music festival.
