We are Wellington's orchestra,
playing for YOU

The profound impact of live orchestral music exists in its power to move us deeply, stirring emotions and creating memories that stay with us long after the final note fades. But not everyone has the chance to feel the transformative power of music.

For every season of unforgettable performances, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to you, our generous donors. Your support sustains our mission, brings music to life on stage, and ensures that the transformative power of orchestral music reaches audiences of all ages throughout our community. Thank you for standing with us – your generosity is the music behind the music.

Donations of any size help us keep our ticket prices low and take music out into our communities so that people from all walks of life can enjoy our concerts. Every donation is tax deductible, and you will receive a receipt.

We invite everyone to explore our flexible donation options, from donations when booking your season subscription to joining our Chair Donor programme, Music Director’s Club, or our Leave a Legacy initiative. Read more about supporting YOUR Orchestra here.
