About TSO
The Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra is one of Australia’s leading performing arts companies and part of the DNA of Tasmanian cultural life – we have been inspiring, invigorating, and delighting audiences through music since 1948.
Each year, our 47-piece orchestra performs an extensive and varied concert season, undertakes a significant recording schedule, delivers meaningful community engagement projects, and provides intensive training programs for players, composers, and conductors.
The TSO musicians and staff are enterprising, curious, collaborative, and committed, and our work is inherently influenced by our home in Lutruwita / Tasmania - the vast and varied natural landscape and thriving cultural life of our island make it an inspiring and sought-after location to live and work.
