Stonnington Symphony

Coming up next...



In 2023 Stonnington Symphony will celebrate 40 years of community music-making!

With historical links dating back to the 1920s, the orchestra was officially formed in 1983 as the Malvern Symphony Orchestra under the guidance of cellist Janis Laurs. Since its inception, Stonnington Symphony has been an organisation committed to being of and for its local community, actively encouraging anyone interested in symphonic music to become involved in its activities as players, members or volunteers.

Be sure to join us for what will be a stunning celebration of Stonnington Symphony's triumphant history.
