His last substantial work was a comic opera based on two characters from Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing. Mercurial and bright, the overture captures the essence of an opera Berlioz described as “a caprice written with the point of a needle”. Michael Houstoun and Orchestra Wellington have enjoyed a long and fruitful artistic relationship. Music Director Marc Taddei calls the intelligence and clarity that Houstoun brings to his musicmaking “a perfect fit for the Bartók”. The Third Piano Concerto is Bartók’s most lyrical, full of whimsical and beguiling melodies influenced by Hungarian folk music. Bartók wrote it as a gift for his wife, Ditta, who was also a concert pianist. In keeping with the Orchestra’s 2016 theme of final masterworks, the concerto is truly Bartók’s “last word,” written during the illness that claimed his life. Tchaikovsky’s greatest gifts shine in his last ballet, the Nutcracker. His ability to write unforgettable melodies is matched by orchestration that clothes them in their most attractive colours. The Nutcracker is filled with the impulse to move, and its music understands everything about how a human body might express grace, power and emotion. With its fantastic scenes and dramatic montages, this is music that brings the imagination to life. For the fourth time, the Orchestra will celebrate its partnership with Hutt Valley’s Sistema youth orchestra Arohanui Strings by inviting them onstage to perform with them. The pieces include the Finale from Tchaikovsky’s Serenade for Strings (in honour of the Orchestra’s Last Words theme), Purcell’s Rondo from the Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra and a few other miniature gems. This partnership performance is the highlight of the year for many of the Sistema families, says Arohanui Strings  director Alison Eldredge. “We are very grateful for OW’s support as well as for the  pizza, smiles and encouragement our young players receive on this special occasion.” www.orchestrawellington.co.nz huttvalley places music performingarts Wed, 28 Sep 2016 00:00:00 GMT http://orchestrawellington.tumblr.com/post/151068240294 Orchestra Wellington 2016-09-28T00:00:00Z -41.2125751 174.9057626 Lower Hutt, Wellington, New Zealand http://orchestrawellington.tumblr.com/post/143916070344 Europe Day spreads joy around the waterfront. waterfront places music performingarts Thu, 05 May 2016 00:00:00 GMT http://orchestrawellington.tumblr.com/post/143916070344 Orchestra Wellington 2016-05-05T00:00:00Z http://orchestrawellington.tumblr.com/post/131640720784 We’re excited to announce we’ll be performing  SILA: THE BREATH OF THE WORLD by John Luther Adams  as part of the NZ Festival on the 5th & 6th March in Civic Square. civic-square places music performingarts Wed, 21 Oct 2015 00:00:00 GMT http://orchestrawellington.tumblr.com/post/131640720784 Orchestra Wellington 2015-10-21T00:00:00Z -41.2886381 174.7770472723911 Te Ngākau Civic Square, Te Aro, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, 6011, New Zealand http://orchestrawellington.tumblr.com/post/129177987199 There’s something special coming up this upcoming FRIDAY the 18th SEPTEMBER… The Embassy of Mexico & Arohanui Strings/Sistema present the *MEXICO - NEW ZEALAND SOLIDARITY CONCERT* Old St Pauls 34 Mulgrave Street Thorndon, Wellington 6PM with very special guest, the Mexican world-renowned recorder virtuoso MAESTRO HORACIO FRANCO This concert will bring together the talent of NZ children of ages 6 to 14, who don’t have access to private music training, together with our friends from the Arohanui Strings - Sistema Hutt Valley programme (for musical and social development) and the expertise of Horacio Franco, one of Mexico’s most successful classical musicians.
