OAcademy has opened its call for auditions for the 2027 Global Artist Diploma, a programme designed for emerging professional musicians who want to strengthen their artistry while building a sustainable career.

Running from January to June 2027, the Diploma pairs personal studio mentorship with principal players, soloists, conductors and composers from ensembles such as the London Symphony Orchestra, the MET Opera and the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. Fellows can follow dedicated pathways in performance, conducting, composition and piano, with a curriculum that also covers audition preparation, performance psychology, public presence and creative entrepreneurship.

Training takes place largely online, so fellows can take part from anywhere in the world and continue their professional activities alongside it. Optional in-person residencies in Europe and North America complete the experience.

Applying is free, and every admitted fellow receives a bursary covering 70% of tuition. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis and studios can fill at any time, so early registration is recommended.

We warmly invite our member institutions to share this opportunity with their students and recent graduates.
