The story of our season
- Orchestra Wellington
- Your unrivalled support is a constant inspiration to all of us at OW. The culture of an orchestra (and I absolutely include you, our beloved audience in this) rests on the quality and integrity of its programming. OW’s programming choices are unique in New Zealand. Sophisticated audiences deserve sophisticated programmes!

Ihitai’A‘Veia – Star Navigator
- Orchestra Wellington
- Aboard a cramped British scientific vessel in the vastness of the Pacific, two navigators find themselves locked on a collision course. One is a Tahitian priest, guided by his ancient knowledge of star pathways. The other a naval officer, desperate to prove both himself and his faith in science. This beautiful and haunting new work by composer Tim Finn, co-composer Tom McLeod, with Tahitian monologues by Célestine Hitiura Vaite, tells the story of Tupaia, the Tahitian star navigator who sailed with James Cook, on the maiden voyage of the Endeavour in 1769. Ihitai‘Avei’a - Star Navigator explores the relationship between two master mariners, each from vastly different worlds, both far from home and unable to find their way into each other’s world.

Interview with ARJUNA OAKES
- Orchestra Wellington
- Talk to us about your upcoming piece, Safe Way To Fall, performed next month with Orchestra Wellington “Safe Way To Fall” is a song John and I wrote at the end of October 2021, roughly a year and a half ago. John has a place in Waitārere on the coast, we had a few days there and wrote some songs together. The first time I’d met John was through being a recipient of the Arts Foundation Springboard award where he was my mentor, but this was the first time where we worked together in direct collaboration.

Interview with JOHN PSATHAS
- Orchestra Wellington
- Hi, John, thanks so much for joining us. Lovely to have you here. A few questions ahead of your piece with us on June 3rd. Firstly, if you could just talk to us about how everything's going – we’re very, very excited. Thank you. For me, it's a big occasion having Zahara played again. The history of it, is that I had written an earlier saxophone concerto for legendary player Michael Brecker, the jazz musician who has since passed away, and the premiere of that was one of the big moments of my life.

A Word From Maestro...
- Orchestra Wellington
- Art Music has always straddled the divide between two fundamental forces - the Apollonian and Dionysian. To Apollonian composers, music can only express itself. But the Dionysians find inspiration within themselves: their inner visions. In 2023 your orchestra presents an extraordinary snapshot of these Dionysian composers. Inner Visions features works of genius composed between 1759 and today. They’re linked by the composers’ need to express their deepest emotions, seeking what Kandinsky called “the spiritual in art”.
