Nau mai, haere mai and welcome to Auckland Philharmonia! Our 45th concert season is packed full of fantastic and varied musical experiences guaranteed to excite, inspire and entertain. You can view details of all of our 2025 concerts on our website. We have an extraordinary season of moving music ahead and we look forward to sharing it with you.

Using resources provided by Carnegie Hall (New York), Auckland Philharmonia's Learn & Participate programme gives teachers the tools to teach music! Participating classes learn a set of songs on recorder, violin, voice or another instrument. All of the schools then come together to participate in an interactive concert where you will discover how the orchestra can sing!
