Mozart Symphony No.41, Jupiter
To celebrate Matariki, this concert’s music depicts aspects of the sky, and the concert features some of Aotearoa New Zealand’s outstanding composers and performers.
Brent Stewart is a multi-talented musician: not only does he conduct numerous New Zealand orchestras, but he is also Wellington’s Orpheus Choir’s Music Director and an Orchestra Wellington percussionist. Singer Ariana Tikao is also a leading player of taonga pūoro (Māori instruments), as well as being a composer whose compositions explore themes relating to her Kāi Tahu identity.
In his Night Song (1974), Larry Pruden uses the strings to conjure up an atmospheric nocturnal setting, Brigid Bisley’s Glimmer of Blue (2005) depicts a ‘far-off glimmering sea or sky’, and Dame Gillian Whitehead’s new work focuses on some of the stars in the Matariki cluster.
Recognised as being one of Mozart’s greatest symphonies, the Jupiter is known for its good humour, exuberant energy, and unusually grand scale. It is thought these qualities earned the symphony its nickname Jupiter as these were also the qualities of the Roman god Jupiter, god of the sky and king of the gods.
There is an additional performance on Sunday, 23 July at 3.00pm.

Singer Ariana Tikao is also a leading player of taonga pūoro (Māori instruments), as well as being a composer whose compositions explore themes relating to her Kāi Tahu identity.
In his Night Song (1974), Larry Pruden uses the strings to conjure up an atmospheric nocturnal setting, Brigid Bisley’s Glimmer of Blue (2005) depicts a ‘far-off glimmering sea or sky’, and Dame Gillian Whitehead’s new work focuses on some of the stars in the Matariki cluster.
Recognised as being one of Mozart’s greatest symphonies, the Jupiter is known for its good humour, exuberant energy, and unusually grand scale. It is thought these qualities earned the symphony its nickname Jupiter as these were also the qualities of the Roman god Jupiter, god of the sky and king of the gods.
There is an additional performance on Saturday, 22 July at 5.00pm.

Mahler Songs of a Wayfarer
Brahms Symphony No.1
Brahms took decades to summon the self-belief to write a symphony. It was worth the wait. It is a mighty work and with Giordano Bellincampi it will be a mighty performance.
The world premiere of the new symphony by Ross Harris is the latest chapter in the long and fruitful artistic relationship between the APO and one of New Zealand’s most distinguished composers. It will be a major occasion in the year’s concert-going.
Mahler wrote this early song-cycle in the wake of an unhappy love affair. Its protagonist, on his love’s wedding day, walks away to escape the memory of her blue eyes. New Zealand-born Sāmoan baritone Benson Wilson is bound to impress in his APO debut.

ConcertConductor Vincent Hardaker
Taonga puoro Jerome Kavanagh
Vaughan Williams Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis
Salina Fisher Taonga Puoro Concerto (world premiere)
Britten Four Sea-Interludes from Peter Grimes
Sibelius Symphony No.7
Salina Fisher has always been fascinated by collaboration, and her work with taonga puoro master Jerome Kavanagh reaches a significant milestone with this new concerto for traditional Māori instruments. It promises to be extraordinary.
Benjamin Britten lived next to the bitter North Sea: its glittering sunshine and furious storms are sharply drawn in his opera Peter Grimes, of which these interludes are the well-known orchestral showcase.
Jean Sibelius described his Seventh Symphony as ‘The moon through storm clouds’. Its massively ecstatic mood is well matched with Vaughan Williams’ visionary cathedral of sound that opens the evening.

NZTrio | HOMELAND 2: TUNES FROM MY HOME (Auckland)
Concert'Homeland 2' begins in Romania with Enescu’s luscious A minor trio, one of the very few works he composed during WWII and a strong witness to his fascination with the countryside and folk music of his homeland. Then, Chen Yi transports us half a world away to her upbringing in China with musical stories filled with bustling energies and happy memories, before the warmness of a serenade composed by a young Enescu melts our hearts.
Victoria Kelly’s gently rhythmic and mystical sound world brings us back home to Aotearoa before our final stop in Prague, where a 42-year old Dvořák takes us into the depths of Czech folk music traditions and into the dark and brooding romanticism of his F minor piano trio.

NZSO | Bernstein & Copland (Wellington)
Concert
Eve De Castro-Robinson | Len Dances
Bernstein | Symphony No. 2 The Age of Anxiety
Copland Symphony No. 3
Leonard Bernstein and Aaron Copland were firm friends and Til time shall end is taken from a poem Bernstein wrote to Copland for his 80th birthday. Grammy Award-winning conductor Giancarlo Guerrero’s NZSO debut presents two works from these exceptional American composers.
Since his last visit to Aotearoa New Zealand, Guerrero has debuted with the New York Philharmonic and San Francisco Symphony to critical acclaim. He has also earned yet another Grammy nomination.
Maestro Guerrero leads the NZSO in a performance of Copland’s Third Symphony, a heroic expansion of Copland’s characteristic Americana feel.
Pianist Joyce Yang, the burgeoning piano superstar, brings her “poetic and sensitive pianism” (Washington Post) to Bernstein’s “The Age of Anxiety”, a six-part virtuoso symphony for solo piano and orchestra.
Eve de Castro Robinson’s Len Dances rounds out this (almost!) all-American programme. Len Dances is inspired by the maverick artistry of Kiwi sculptor and filmmaker Len Lye.

Dunedin Symphony Orchestra | Dvořák’s New World
ConcertAnthony Ritchie Symphony No.6 (world première)
Dvořák Symphony No.9, 'From The New World'
Dvořák’s ninth symphony, From the New World, is one of the most internationally popular symphonies. It is best-known for its exquisite, yearning Largo second movement theme, and its powerful, exhilarating finale. Like his other works, this symphony is packed with captivating melodies and imbued with elements of national folk music.
A new major work by acclaimed Dunedin-based composer Anthony Ritchie is always an eagerly anticipated event. His Symphony No.6 was begun during the lockdown in New Zealand March-April 2020 and was informed by the crisis enveloping the country and the world. However, the work is also inspired by personal experiences, beginning in 2019 and book-ended by the composer’s illness in 2021, as well as being unified by a recurring love theme.
London-based conductor Simon Over returns to conduct the DSO after a three-year Covid-enforced absence. He is the Music Director and Principal Conductor of London’s Southbank Sinfonia, and he conducts in the UK, Italy and Asia.

It is best-known for its exquisite, yearning Largo second movement theme, and its powerful, exhilarating finale. Like his other works, this symphony is packed with captivating melodies and imbued with elements of national folk music.
A new major work by acclaimed Dunedin-based composer Anthony Ritchie is always an eagerly anticipated event. His Symphony No.6 was begun during the lockdown in New Zealand March-April 2020 and was informed by the crisis enveloping the country and the world. However, the work is also inspired by personal experiences, beginning in 2019 and book-ended by the composer’s illness in 2021, as well as being unified by a recurring love theme.
London-based conductor Simon Over returns to conduct the DSO after a three-year Covid-enforced absence. He is the Music Director and Principal Conductor of London’s Southbank Sinfonia, and he conducts in the UK, Italy and Asia.

NZTrio | HOMELAND 2: TUNES FROM MY HOME (Christchurch)
Concert'Homeland 2' begins in Romania with Enescu’s luscious A minor trio, one of the very few works he composed during WWII and a strong witness to his fascination with the countryside and folk music of his homeland. Then, Chen Yi transports us half a world away to her upbringing in China with musical stories filled with bustling energies and happy memories, before the warmness of a serenade composed by a young Enescu melts our hearts.
Victoria Kelly’s gently rhythmic and mystical sound world brings us back home to Aotearoa before our final stop in Prague, where a 42-year old Dvořák takes us into the depths of Czech folk music traditions and into the dark and brooding romanticism of his F minor piano trio.
Additional performances:

Concert

Scriabin | The Poem of Ecstasy
Debussy | Syrinx
Sibelius | Luonnotar
Ravel | Daphnis et Chloe Suite No. 2
Principal Conductor and Artistic Advisor Gemma New conducts a programme featuring titans of early twentieth-century romanticism.
Scriabin’s 1908 Poem of Ecstasy was described by the composer as “The Joy of Liberated Action […] a Divine Play of Worlds.”
While Scriabin indulged his taste for cosmic scope, Jean Sibelius kept things a little more grounded in Luonnotar, his 1913 tone poem for soprano and orchestra. Here the golden-voiced Madeleine Pierard embodies the mythological Finnish goddess of nature.
We start and end with dance. Firstly, with NZ composer Ken Young’s Dance, and lastly, with Ravel’s Daphnis and Chloe Suite No. 2.
Nestled in this concert’s heart is Debussy’s solo flute piece Syrinx. Debussy’s enigmatic, harmonically adventurous works provided the key to unlocking the creativity of contemporaries like Scriabin, Sibelius and Ravel, allowing them to then create their own distinctive sound worlds.

NZSO | Poem of Ecstasy (Dunedin)
Concert
Kenneth Young | Dance
Scriabin | The Poem of Ecstasy
Debussy | Syrinx
Sibelius | Luonnotar
Ravel | Daphnis et Chloe Suite No. 2
Principal Conductor and Artistic Advisor Gemma New conducts a programme featuring titans of early twentieth-century romanticism.
Scriabin’s 1908 Poem of Ecstasy was described by the composer as “The Joy of Liberated Action […] a Divine Play of Worlds.”
While Scriabin indulged his taste for cosmic scope, Jean Sibelius kept things a little more grounded in Luonnotar, his 1913 tone poem for soprano and orchestra. Here the golden-voiced Madeleine Pierard embodies the mythological Finnish goddess of nature.
We start and end with dance. Firstly, with NZ composer Ken Young’s Dance, and lastly, with Ravel’s Daphnis and Chloe Suite No. 2.
Nestled in this concert’s heart is Debussy’s solo flute piece Syrinx. Debussy’s enigmatic, harmonically adventurous works provided the key to unlocking the creativity of contemporaries like Scriabin, Sibelius and Ravel, allowing them to then create their own distinctive sound worlds.

Beethoven Violin Concerto
Stravinsky Petrushka (1947)
Leonie Holmes’ short work, commissioned by the APO in 2020, opens the final mainstage concert of the year. It takes its inspiration from Tessa Stephens’ poem Cycles.
Beethoven’s scintillating Violin Concerto is an exhilarating piece, particularly with a tour de force performance from the astonishing violinist Clara-Jumi Kang.
Stravinsky’s ballet about a wooden puppet that comes to life is one of the most folk-influenced pieces he ever wrote. The opening scene is set in a fairground, and Stravinsky said that audiences should be able to smell the food.
