Strengthening Australia’s String Music Community

AUSTA state chapters across Australia are at the heart of the organisation’s mission. They support string musicians, teachers, and communities. Each chapter offers local opportunities to connect, learn, and grow. This includes workshops, performances, and professional development events.

While string performers and educators form the core of most chapters, AUSTA welcomes members from all backgrounds. This includes luthiers, students, music lovers, and community leaders. As a result, every event is rich in diversity and collaboration.

Thanks to passionate volunteers, AUSTA state chapters deliver a wide range of programs. These programs support the growth of string playing and teaching across Australia. For example, chapters host student camps, teacher forums, festivals, competitions, and masterclasses. Many of these feature some of Australia’s most accomplished musicians and educators.

In addition, AUSTA recognises the value of skilled instrument makers. Luthiers often collaborate with chapters by offering demonstrations, repairs, and expert advice. Their involvement raises the standard of instrument care and craftsmanship within the community.

Joining your local chapter is a powerful way to stay engaged with the string music scene. Whether you’re a beginner, an experienced performer, or returning to music, you are welcome. AUSTA state chapters provide inspiration, mentorship, and support at every stage of your musical journey.
