Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra and the Auckland Writers & Readers Festival present Works With Words.
Kiwi texts, Kiwi composers and Kiwi actor Stuart Devenie combine for a programme of uniquely New Zealand orchestral and “spoken word” works. In an exciting partnership between musicians and authors, six composers selected New Zealand poetry and prose that spoke to them personally, and worked with the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra's Composer-in-Residence John Psathas and Arts Laureate Stuart Devenie to produce new pieces. Don’t miss this stirring, moving and astounding performance.
