Double Homecoming

Sun

15 Nov

2026

Join Bay of Plenty Symphonia on Sunday, November 15, 2026, for a very special homecoming, as Tauranga siblings Anna and Dominic Lee return to perform with the orchestra that played a part in their early musical journeys. Anna and Dominic have both gone on to build impressive musical careers since growing up in Tauranga and taking part in Bay of Plenty Symphonia’s Rising Stars Competition in 2013. Now, they return to the orchestra as soloists in Brahms’ beautiful Double Concerto for Violin and Cello. It’s a chance to hear two accomplished musicians who grew up here sharing the stage, and to celebrate the journey that has taken them from Tauranga to audiences further afield. Under the baton of the orchestra’s Music Director Michael Joel, the concert opens with Vaughan Williams’ Serenade to Music in its orchestral version, a warm and lyrical work full of colour and beauty. The programme concludes with Borodin’s Symphony No. 2, a powerful and richly textured work that brings the full orchestra into its own. Whether you remember Anna and Dominic from their early days in Tauranga or are hearing them for the first time, this is a concert with a strong local connection and plenty to enjoy. Come along and help us give Anna and Dominic a warm Tauranga welcome home. Prices Adult: $27.12 Child & Student: $5.62 Family Pass (2 Adults & 2 Children): $55.24 Family Pass (2 Adults & 3 Children): $53.75 Family Pass (2 Adults & 4 Children): $54.24
