Bay of Plenty Symphonia is a community orchestra based in Tauranga, made up of enthusiastic amateur musicians of all ages from around the Bay of Plenty.

Entries for the Rising Stars 2025 competitions are now being accepted. Click here for more information.

The orchestra usually performs three concerts each year: usually two classical, and one particularly supporting youth endeavours and education.  Although most of our concerts are in Tauranga we also perform in other parts of the Bay and we have an established and loyal audience from various parts of the region.  Read numerous positive reviews of our concerts in Past Events.

Violinist Lara Hall

Our next concert, which features conductor Michael Joel and violin soloist Lara Hall, is on 11 May 2025, 3pm, at Holy Trinity Church, 215 Devonport Road.
