The Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra (TSO) has inspired, invigorated and entertained audiences around Tasmania and the world since 1948. The TSO connects with the Tasmanians through concert seasons in Hobart and Launceston, TSO Live Sessions in unconventional performance spaces, the annual outdoor concert Symphony under the Stars – and now through a partnership with the BOFA Film Festival.
