AUSTA WA 2025

RSVP: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfgaUqgGQrZTLy_LXVSS4Nim1d9Vd_F2D0iwvcDe_VnQgYcrA/viewform Our year began with a relaxed, successful social outreach lunch in Mount Hawthorne.  AUSTA WA is pleased to partner with organisations supporting string success in WA, and it has been good to hear news from AUSTA member Grace Ah-quee, who directs the Perth Summer Orchestra Camp. AUSTA bursaries for hardship or travel support this year helped a Venezuelan refugee violist and a bass player in Summer Strings, a violist in Baroque program and a cellist in Brilliant strings. We have an active community of professionals and students who are motivated to create more opportunities for strings in WA.  If you would like to join us, please contact our current state president Stephanie Fraser: wapresident@austa.asn.au
