Information
Child Policy: This performance is not suitable for children under six years old. Children aged 16 and under must be accompanied by a caregiver who attends the event with the child. Conductor --- Olari Elts Piano --- Sylvia Jiang Trumpet --- Huw Dann Brigid Ursula Bisley --- Illumination Shostakovich --- Piano Concerto No.1 Mendelssohn --- A Midsummer Night's Dream (selections) Mendelssohn, unbelievably, was just 17 when he wrote his magical Overture to A Midsummer Night's Dream. Years later, he recaptured the fairy land in his gossamer music for the entire play. Auckland's own Sylvia Jiang joins our Principal Trumpet Huw Dann for Shostakovich's gleefully crazy concerto. It's uproarious music from a high-spirited young man. And to open, with undercurrents of darkness, New Zealand composer Brigid Ursula Bisley's music is an illumination of distant stars and far horizons.
