Auckland Sinfonietta, based in the North Shore, was founded in 2016 by Dr Jucheol Wang who is the musical director. The goals of the Sinfonietta are to promote orchestral repertoire and variety of music and present it to local audiences.

It also seeks to nurture and present music of different ethnicities in an effort to promote multiculturalism and therefore enrich our society’s tastes and appreciation. By doing this it aims to establish a niche in the Auckland orchestral scene that is currently not filled by the other orchestral bodies in Auckland.

The mission of the Auckland Sinfonietta Trust is to use music and the performing arts as a means of facilitating communication between various ethnic groups and to use these arts to promote relationships between Eastern and Western cultures in New Zealand and overseas.
