Hearing protection
Manawatu Sinfonia and Youth Orchestra members are entitled to a special discount on custom made earplugs with Heartland Audiology.
We had planned for an exciting year of concerts but of course everything is on hold for the duration of the emergency.
We will issue updates on the concert schedule over the next few months.
The Sinfonia now hopes to hold its concert with Peter van Drimmelen (conductor) and Emma Minchin (flautist) in May 2021.
Later in 2021 the Sinfonia hopes to do a belated celebration of Beethoven's 250th, featuring the Emperor concerto played and conducted by Andrew Atkins, along with some of the most memorable movements from four of Beethoven's symphonies.
