SOUNZtender: the Concert

This concert represents the culmination of the 2009 "SOUNZtender":http://sounz.org.nz/news_articles/show/198 fundraising project. Five generous commissioners, five inspired composers, five exciting new works and five top New Zealand performers come together for one extraordinary concert.
"Tickets are now available through Ticketek":http://premier.ticketek.co.nz/shows/show.aspx?sh=SOUNZTEN10&searchId=1da2b668-4aaf-425a-b005-9520755c3ad3
