Welcome Music Futures supports young musicians who attend primary or secondary school in the greater Wellington region to realise their potential. We actively raise funds to provide opportunities for our young musicians. We offer financial awards as well as coaching, mentoring and performance opportunities, working with some of New Zealand's finest professional musicians. We also have a small supply of woodwind and brass instruments for loan (for which there is a small charge).
Music Futures is a registered charity. Our donors and supporters have the chance to make a real difference to the future of New Zealand music and to hear and meet the young musicians they invest in.

Applications close on 31 March, 2025 and awards will be notified early in Term 2. This year the application process is again online. Teachers please can you direct your students or their parents/caregivers to fill out the online application form through this link: Applicant's form
All applicants for the financial awards will need to ask their teacher to fill out a referee form. Please use this link to fill in the referee form for your students: Referee's form
You will need to fill in a separate online form for each student. You can do this by opening this link as many times as you need.
