Live orchestral music for the people of Ōtepoti Dunedin, Otago and Southland
Welcome to the DSO! Since 1966, Dunedin’s only professional orchestra has been a key contributor to local and regional cultural vibrancy. It presents its audiences and communities with a wide variety of orchestral masterpieces performed by top international and New Zealand conductors and soloists, as well as a comprehensive range of educational and outreach programmes.
What's Next
🎤 Join the DSO and conductor Umberto Clerici for a programme celebrating the centenary of the University of Otago’s School of Music. Beethoven’s magnificent Triple Concerto features three distinguished School of Music lecturers – Tessa Petersen, Heleen du Plessis and Terence Dennis – as soloists, alongside Brahms’s radiant Symphony No. 2 and Dorothy Buchanan’s vibrant Peace Fanfare.
