Welcome to Sinfonia MNC. This vibrant regional community orchestra aims to cultivate music appreciation, and music playing in our region.

Our orchestra of the mid north coast, draws its players from all ages (currently 13-93 years) from the wider communities of  Gloucester,  Great Lakes,  Taree &  Port Macquarie.
 
Sinfonia's regular repertoire extends across many genres including classical,  jazz and popular. This variety, plus Sinfonia's performance standards make our concerts a most enjoyable and entertaining experience for our audiences. Local choirs, including high school choirs, soloists, and other community musical groups are often featured with the orchestra at its concerts, highlighting the talents in our own communities.
