Emerging Performers Fellowships

The Emerging Performers Fellowships are a collaboration between The Ian Potter Cultural Trust and the Australian National Academy of Music (ANAM) that award two fellowships annually (2024–2028) to support outstanding ANAM alumni. Each fellowship provides two years of support, including untied financial assistance and tailored mentoring, coaching and network development from ANAM faculty. The program targets alumni pursuing independent creative practice in the classical music sector rather than traditional orchestral careers. Ten fellowships in total will be awarded across the program period.

A$50,000 per year (A$100,000 over two years), tailored mentoring, coaching and network development from ANAM faculty; two years of support.

Applicants are ANAM alumni who demonstrate a commitment to developing an independent creative practice.

Applications are submitted through the Ian Potter Cultural Trust application portal; see the program's application process and guide links on the Trust's website.
