Wiri Licensing Trust Presents MSO Symphonic Journey Workshop 2026 - New Horizons on Saturday, 18 July, and Sunday, 19 July 2026, with conductor Tavite Tonga.
In this year’s Symphonic Journey, young musicians and community players join forces with the Manukau Symphony Orchestra to explore music of joy, elegance, and discovery. Dvořák’s radiant Symphony No. 8 celebrates the song of nature and the optimism of new beginnings; Shostakovich’s graceful Waltz No. 2 brings charm and dance to the concert hall; and New Zealand composer Erin Fagan offers a fresh voice from our own shores. Together, these works open New Horizons — for the players who learn and grow through music, and for audiences who share in their journey.
A free informal playthrough on Sunday , 19 July, at 5pm for friends, family and public at Four Winds Theatre, the MSO’s home in the Due Drop Events Centre.
Players interested in participating in this free workshop weekend (Saturday, 18 July, and Sunday, 19 July) should email the Manukau Symphony Orchestra.
All Welcome!
