The Hawke’s Bay Orchestra is a cultural jewel for our community, each year performing a series of concerts featuring leading soloists and challenging, imaginative repertoire.
Formed in 1975, the orchestra has evolved and developed into a dynamic ensemble and leading regional orchestra in New Zealand. During this time the Hawke’s Bay Orchestra has developed and hosted a number of outstanding musicians and showcased some incredible talent, allowing the community to enjoy and participate in a nationally recognized musical setting. Our development of a teaching programme has expanded our role in the preparation and launch of young emerging artists to regional and national opportunities including chamber music, advanced orchestral settings, university admission, and composition.
The 2010 season continues to raise the bar with each of its concerts. Each concert incorporates a unique venue, with pieces spotlighting individual soloists and the Orchestra performing a different genre of music on each occasion. This variety enables there to be something that will appeal to everyone!
