Composed of around 120 players aged from 10 to over 80 years, the MSO presents a series of varied concerts annually to patrons from across Auckland.

Support Our Mahi
The Manukau Symphony orchestra has delivered the highest quality of symphonic music to Aucklanders for over 33 years. We play to full houses in the heart of South Auckland and occasionally the Auckland Town Hall, enjoying some incredible reviews for our main concerts and collaborations.
So it’s easy to forget that MSO is a charity that cannot bring the magic of orchestra to you without the help of donations and sponsorship. Luckily, we offer a wealth of ways for you to join our growing circle of supporters. Please take a look at the options and consider keeping orchestral music alive together.
