Formed in 1987, the Ballarat Symphony Orchestra is a well-established community orchestra with a long and proud history of performance in Ballarat.  The Orchestra is managed by a Committee of Management and we will be recruiting to our Principal Conductor position for commencement in 2025. Guest conductors for 2024 are Andrew Leach and Phoebe Briggs. Orchestra members are all volunteers, who give their time freely. We have some minimum standards for all playing members and welcome expressions of interest for new players. Get in touch!

We present three concerts each year at the Wendouree Centre for Performing Arts, as well as performing at occasional community or other events.

The orchestra plays a wide repertoire and features a range of soloists throughout each year.
