The MSO will hold the Symphonic Journey weekend workshop, a yearly favourite for young musicians and community players from South Auckland.

Members will include players from the Howick School of Music, the Tironui Trust and anybody who loves playing in an orchestra.

Players will rehearse and perform alongside MSO mentors the stirring music of Beethoven’s dramatic Egmont Overture and explore the vast expansiveness of the Manukau harbour beach Whatipu, especially written for this workshop by Adrien de Croy. The instantly recognizable Prokofiev tune from Romeo and Juliet will be a thrill, followed by Star Wars.

The workshop will run at BNZ Theatre, Due Drop Events Centre Manukau, during the weekend of Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th of October on both afternoons.

A FREE informal playthrough for whānau, friends and public for the workshop repertoire: Sunday at 5pm in the BNZ Theatre.

Players interested in participating in this FREE workshop weekend should contact the MSO at  admin@manukausymphony.org.nz  All Welcome!
