Applications are now open for Orchestra Wellington's 2024 Auditions round.
Founded over seventy-five years ago, Orchestra Wellington has a rich history as New Zealand’s oldest regional orchestra. Thanks to bold and imaginative programming, accessible ticket pricing, and high artistic standards, the Orchestra has attracted one of the largest and most consistent audiences in the country.
Our concerts feature internationally acclaimed soloists, as well as the best artists New Zealand has to offer. In addition to performances with partner organisations such as New Zealand Opera and the Royal New Zealand Ballet, and our six-concert subscription series which is performed at Wellington’s premier venue, the Michael Fowler Centre, each year more than 60,000 people hear Orchestra Wellington perform live Outside the concert hall.
Orchestra Wellington is proud to uphold a strong commitment to families and communities, performing most of their engagements outside the concert hall and in the communities they serve. Through free and subsidised educational performances in schools across the region, partnerships with community-based music education programmes and initiatives, and support of community events such as Classical on Cuba, CubaDupa, and PRIDE, Orchestra Wellington performs for thousands of children and families every year.
