Opus Pocket Orchestra and Tauranga Arts Festival are joining forces to bring live music into the heart of the community, with a special focus on little listeners. These free 30-minute concerts are designed especially for tamariki aged 2–6 and their whānau, offering a joyful, interactive introduction to orchestral music.
Held at Tauranga City Libraries, each performance blends storytelling, movement, and song with plenty of chances for children to clap, dance, and get up close to the instruments. There are no tickets, no concert hall rules - just a warm, welcoming space to explore music and imagination together.
Come and discover how amazing classical music can be when it’s pocket-sized.
