Christchurch Symphony Orchestra
Puoro mā te katoa #musicforeveryone
Recognised nationally, and celebrated locally for the depth of our work, we believe that music enriches lives in different ways, and we provide a wide range of mediums in which our audience can discover, encounter, and enjoy great musical experiences.
We contribute to the cultural diversity of the community through a full and varied concert season, as the orchestra of choice for many touring artists and other arts organisations, including the Royal New Zealand Ballet, and through our In the Community Ki te Hapori programme, including school residencies, collaborations with other organisations such as Jolt Dance, library and retirement village performances, and at civic events.
Championing New Zealand composers and artists is hugely important to us, and we have, for many years, showcased, commissioned and premiered New Zealand works and performed with the best of New Zealand talent.
