Each year APO’s outreach and education programme, APO Connecting, puts together a jam-packed line-up of musical activities and opportunities designed to inspire, engage and entertain our communities across Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, making our city a more vibrant place to live.

Coming up in 2023, our popular concerts for pre-schoolers return to Takapuna. You’re never too young to fall in love with music, and APO 4 Kids is specially designed to be the perfect event for under-sixes. With instruments on demonstration, the chance to walk through the orchestra, and dancing encouraged, there’s no need for your tamariki to sit still while they listen.

Presenter Erin Wells (from from Aotearoa New Zealand’s longest-running longest-running children’s show What Now) leads the adventure as children explore the world of music and sound based on this year’s fun toe-tapping theme, Move & Groove. Share in a lively hour of fun as your little ones sing, dance, clap and conduct along to classical favourites and popular songs – the perfect combination of learning and play set to magical orchestral sound. APO 4 Kids starts at the Auckland Town Hall with two shows on Sunday 30th April, before travelling to Takapuna’s Bruce Mason Centre for two further shows on Saturday 6th May. From grandparents, mums and dads, and especially the little ones, everyone has a great time at APO 4 Kids.
