Support Your Orchestra

Music stirs each of us in a unique way, but it moves us all.

As music lovers, we understand the profound impact of live orchestral music

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.

Your Orchestra Wellington presents concerts for all ages and fulfils a valuable role accompanying opera, choir, ballet and musical theatre in the region. We rely on YOUR generosity to do what we do.

Your help brings music to life on stage

Aside from the usual tangible benefits that the Orchestra can provide, nothing is more valuable than knowing that your contribution goes directly toward supporting the activity of a longstanding charitable organisation.

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.
