Our goal is to cultivate Cambodia’s next generation of accomplished musicians through quality level conservatory training across orchestral strings, woodwinds, brass, percussion, and piano.
“I believe that many institutions teach classical music through abuse and the antithesis of music's core purpose. I plan to change that, so that music can once again regain it's purpose of love and enjoyment.”

A conservatory spirit, rooted in community.
Bilger Academy of Orchestral Arts was founded on a simple belief: that classical music belongs to everyone, regardless of background or ethnicity. We aim to guide each and every student with patience, rigour and joy.
Our curriculum centres on the great orchestral traditions; piano, strings, percussion, woodwinds and brass. Our teachers are qualified, positive musicians who care deeply about craft and about the people behind every instrument.
At the heart of the academy stands the Bilger Philharmonic Orchestra that is free and open to anyone who wishes to play via auditions. We are not only a school of music, but a guiding light to any who wish to find love in music.
