Always wondered how to really listen to a symphony and get the most out of it?
In these two free concerts our very own Peter Walls will guide you through the harmonic drama of the classical symphony and into the realms of Romanticism. The New Zealand Symphony Orchestra will illustrate Peter’s points at the flick of a baton in this, his final appearance as Chief Executive.
Use his musical signposts to navigate your way effortlessly through the bars. Listen out for some very familiar examples and also the two pieces that foreshadow next year’s programme.
Book your free seat by calling the NZSO on (04) 801 3862 or email encounters@nzso.co.nz.
Maximum of four tickets allowed per booking. Tickets are general admission.
