Orpheus in the 2010 NZ International Arts Festival

Friday 26 February 2010      

Mahler Symphony No. 8

Mahler’s Symphony No. 8 gathers together the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, some of the world’s finest soloists, a children’s chorus, organ, brass and two large mixed choirs – of which Orpheus Choir of Wellington will be one. This guaranteed sell-out performance will be led by world-renowned conductor Vladimir Ashkenazy, opening the 2010 NZ International Arts Festival in spectacular style.
