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.

The guidelines for the 2025 Rising Stars competition are now available. Click here.

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.

Our next concert, which features oboe soloist Bede Hanley is on 24 November, 3pm, at Holy Trinity Church, Devonport Road. Read more.

We are always looking for new musicians to join our orchestra – if you play an orchestral instrument please get in touch. Find out more here.
