Our Story

Just over a decade ago, a small group of
church friends, led by our founder Seth Pinnock, embarked on an extraordinary journey.

Beginning with packing groceries for a local cause, this youth-led initiative quickly sparked
a movement, uniting thousands from varied backgrounds.

The 'Midnight Oil' event, born from this humble effort, has since grown into a nationwide phenomenon, transforming a circle of 13 friends into a 300-strong volunteer team helping people become the best version of themselves 

Over the past ten years, Symphony Co has emerged as a force for positive change.


Through creative and engaging methods, we continue to build platforms and spaces that inspire individuals to discover their calling.

Our portfolio of events and initiatives encompasses music, arts, media, academia, social action, celebration and  community organisation, all aimed at influencing a generation to live with purpose and transform society 

>Education


We seek to uplift underserved youth through comprehensive after-school programs, offering free educational and therapeutic care. We believe the
wrap-around support they receive today will enable them to become the answers to society’s problems tomorrow.


>Empowerment

We seek to equip the gifted and discover the dreamers in our towns and cities helping them to live on purpose. From home markers to entrepreneurs, through our gatherings we hope to raise a diverse mix of seasoned and emerging leaders who will change the world one life at a time.

>Entertainment

We seek to be a cultural hub that bridges artists, actors, authors and audiences. Creating both timeless moments and works that showcase’s our worlds kaleidoscope of stories 

So, as we look forward to the future, we invite you to join our team.

Together, let's continue to write this symphony of change, shining brighter with each note we play. 

For in Symphony Co, we believe that every individual has a unique instrument, and together, we play a melody that inspires each listener with “give higher, love wider and serve lower” 

The best is indeed yet to come, and we are excited for you to be a part of this journey.

Join us, there is room for you!
