What people say

"The hall has a wonderful acoustic, is well-equipped with quality pianos and has good soundproof rehearsal and warm-up spaces. The venue has a beautiful, elegant, and welcoming atmosphere for our guests; the café is a welcome addition."

Amber, Orchestra Manager, Auckland Philharmonia

"So much good music making and music learning goes on at Symphonia and it's fast becoming a nexus for the Auckland music community. I rented their main hall for a couple of audition recording sessions. The space is great, it's a very convenient location, and the folks that run it are top-tier."

Taran Plamondon

"Had the opportunity to do a workshop here. The space was great, lots of natural sun, very professional café facilities. Surrounded by music while doing some studying was a unique and pleasant experience."

Haobo Tong

"Wonderful location with excellent facilities; great central rehearsal space for my ensemble."

A. Read

"Very spacious, lots of natural lighting, and the acoustics make this place very suitable for training and educational sessions, and recreational activities. Highly recommended."
