Presented by:
Dunedin Symphony Orchestra
DSO is delighted to celebrate its sixtieth anniversary with a landmark collaboration with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra.
The two orchestras will join forces, sitting side by side, to bring to life one of the most glorious works of the symphonic repertoire: Mahler’s Second Symphony, nicknamed ‘Resurrection’.
Voted the fifth greatest symphony of all time by BBC Music Magazine, our performance of Mahler’s immense ‘Resurrection’ Symphony will bring together the talents of DSO, NZSO, vocal soloists, and a choir of 150 strong!
They will be joined by leading New Zealand soprano Anna Leese and British-Australian mezzo-soprano Deborah Humble who is known internationally for her commanding performances of the dramatic and Wagnerian repertoire.
Under the baton of Principal Guest Conductor James Judd, this one-night-only concert will be an unmissable event.
Our concert will start with a new work by Dunedin composer Anthony Ritchie, ‘Fanfare Kotahitanga’.
This fanfare was commissioned by the NZSO, and it will showcase the brilliance and power of both DSO and NZSO brass.
