A fun family concert! A group of players from the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra will perform popular classics and introduce their instruments. Featuring Handel’s Music for Royal Fireworks and Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture.
The concerts are part of the NZSO Community Programmes initiative and will introduce audiences to the instruments, sections and musicians of the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra. Each musician of the NZSO in Miniature and on the Road tour performs a different instrument of the orchestra, allowing them to give individual presentations involving opportunities for audience interaction.
The concerts feature solo performances and a programme of arrangements of classic favourites for this original ensemble, such as Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture, Handel’s Music for the Royal Fireworks, other much-loved classics and a few surprises!
