A recap of our Cookies and Chill event last Friday night 💗 It was so wonderful seeing everyone and their very creative cookie designs. We hope you all enjoyed! 🍪

Congrats to our two winners for our prizes tonight, Kiera and Shasa! 👏 A very special thank you to Le Violon Rouge who sponsored us 2x vouchers to give out for this event as prizes.

Le Violon Rouge is a specialist workshop in Auckland led by a master luthier that provides expert restoration, repair, setup, and sales for violins, violas, and cellos. 🎻

Pictures are up in our discord! Thank you all again for coming, we hope to see you at the next event. ✨

Watch out for any reels or posts that I create over the semester. I am so excited to show you all what I have planned (like yesterday’s one)! 👀✨

What an absolutely incredible two nights! ✨🎶 AUSCO’s Semester 1 2026 concert was nothing short of magical, and the overwhelming warmth from our audience, supporters, and players made every rehearsal, every late night, and every note so incredibly worth it. 💛

We are so proud to announce that together we raised $5215 for birdcareaotearoa — an organisation doing beautiful and vital work rehabilitating and caring for Aotearoa’s precious native birds. Every dollar raised is a reminder of just how generous and big-hearted this community truly is. 🐦🌿

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to every single person who came through those doors, cheered us on, and gave so generously. And to our AUSCO members, your passion, dedication, and hard work is what makes all of this possible. We are endlessly proud of each and every one of you. 🫶

A huge thank you to our incredible sponsors — PubCharity, Bagsic Law, and The Stringed Instrument Company — for your continued support that helps make these concerts a reality. 🙌

A special thank you to our conductor Esther Wu for guiding us through such a stunning programme. 🎻

📸 Huge shoutout to our talented photographer Xinyue Xinyue 心悦 for capturing every beautiful moment — find the official concert photos via the link in our bio!
Until Semester 2 — thank you, from all of us. 💛🎶
