Soloist Lara Hall and conductor Michael Joel in Beethoven’s Violin, 11 May 2025

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 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.  Check out our latest review here and past reviews in Past Events.
