Relaxed Concert

An opportunity for children and adults with autism spectrum disorders and other sensitivity issues or special needs to enjoy the orchestra in a sensory-friendly environment. 

With a more relaxed approach to concert-going, the aim is to minimise patrons’ anxiety and ensure they have a calm, enjoyable and safe concert experience.

A guide will be prepared for each performance with descriptions of what to expect at the concert. This is a great way to ensure patrons get the most enjoyment possible from the experience.

Relaxed Concerts are presented in Napier, Tauranga, Blenheim, Nelson, Wellington and Auckland.

While every effort is made to ensure these events are supportive of sensory needs, there are factors outside of our control, such as numbers of participants and audience noise levels.
