The MSO’s annual Symphonic Journey weekend workshop, a beloved event for young musicians and community players from South Auckland, will take place this year at the Due Drop Events Centre. Participants will include musicians from the Howick School of Music, the Tironui Trust, and all who share a love for orchestral playing. 

We’re delighted to welcome back conductor Tom Chester, who will lead this year’s romantic program. A FREE informal playthrough Sunday at 5pm for friends, family and public at the Four Winds Theatre. Players interested in participating in this FREE workshop weekend Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 October, should contact the MSO at admin@manukausymphony.org.nz to register.

Parking is FREE, and no tickets are required for the free informal playthrough.
