The NZSO is a Crown entity, under the recently enacted New Zealand Symphony Orchestra Act 2004. The principal objectives of the NZSO include providing the public of New Zealand with live and recorded performances of symphonic music, performed to an international standard by a highly skilled and artistically imaginative orchestra with strong community support. The NZSO is expected to be a leading arts organisation with a role in the development of a distinctly New Zealand cultural environment which promotes and encourages New Zealand musical composition and composers and provides performance opportunities for New Zealand musicians.
