Scenes - Trust Waikato Symphony Orchestra (Putāruru)

Orchestras Central presents...

Scenes: Trust Waikato Symphony Orchestra
Saturday 4 November, 4.00pm | The Plaza, Putāruru
Koha Entry

with
Luca Manghi - flute soloist
Rupert D'Cruze - conductor

You won't want to miss this kaleidoscopic series of orchestral vignettes, showcasing the rich and lyrical textures of the romantic orchestra.

Setting the scene is Douglas Lilburn's Overture: Aotearoa - shimmering and triumphant - paired with Anthony Ritchie's equally vibrant and lyrical Flute Concerto. Gabrielle Fauré's melancholy yet hopeful Pavane provides a poignant contrast to Walton's ever-popular Crown Imperial - Coronation March.

The programme ends with two indulgently lush mini masterworks from Holst and Hindemith: full of life, colour and humour. Join us for a pre-concert talk at 1.45pm, illuminating the stories behind the music.

Lilburn | Aotearoa Overture
Anthony Ritchie | Flute concerto
Fauré | Pavane
Walton | Crown Imperial

Holst | Somerset Rhapsody
Hindemith | Symphonic Metamorphosis of Themes by Carl Maria von Weber
