- Orchestra Wellington
- With just over 1 week to go until our next concert 'SONG OF THE NIGHTINGALE' next Saturday, here are a few words from our head conductor & music director Marc Taddei on the ideas behind the shows ‘Bird’ theme! "Sometimes as programmers we get a little ‘cute’ with concepts and I could not resist the idea of a ‘bird’ concert! Of course, themes like this work only if the music is first rate! I love the connection between the master of the 20th Century and his teacher. One can clearly hear the exoticism that Stravinsky absorbed from Rimsky-Korsakov. These are two orchestral tours de force. The Ravel G major concerto is a genius work of modernism that is clearly inspired by Jazz while the Haydn symphony expertly balances the grave G-minor tonality with a light-hearted quality that soon wins out” For a full rundown of the concert head HERE Tickets are still available online from TICKETEK NEW ZEALAND and also from the Ticketek Box Office so don’t forget to utilise our special offer, by presenting your PITA & THE WOLF’ stub (or proof of purchase as your details will be on file) you will get 50% OFF full-priced Adult and Gold Card Concession tickets!

- Orchestra Wellington presents PITA AND THE WOLF A family concert for all ages Sunday 27 July Wellington Opera House 3pm Prokofiev – Peter and the Wolf Goss – Tane and the Kiwi Kubik – Gerald McBoing-Boing Marc Taddei, conductor Dave Fane & Aroha White, presenters with special guest, Bret McKenzie Three classic stories take to the stage in a family concert filled with laughter and magic, presented by David Fane, Aroha White and Flight of the Conchords’ Bret McKenzie. Who remembers listening to Saturday morning radio stories? Composer Thomas Goss does! Inspired by Alwyn Owen’s tale, How the Kiwi Lost his Wings, Goss created a delightful musical story, Tane and the Kiwi. Its perky and indomitable little hero has delighted New Zealand audiences for over a decade. Aroha White lends her voice to the birds of New Zealand that star in this story. Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf is a popular favourite that needs no introduction – except this time, the orchestra gives Prokofiev’s classic a Pasifika twist. Adapted by David Armstrong, Peter turns into Pita, thanks to David Fane of Bro’town and Outrageous Fortune fame. Bret McKenzie leads the laughter in a musical adaptation of Dr Seuss’ humorous children’s tale, Gerald McBoing-Boing. Gerald can’t speak words; he just goes “boing boing” instead. Watch Flight of the Conchords’ Bret Mckenzie ham it up in front of the orchestra! Tickets from Ticketek 0800 842 538 Service fee will apply $16.50 – $26.50. Children under two – free!
