About this concert
All Tickets are Mobile Ticket Only. Mobile Tickets are like Print-at-Home tickets but instead of having to print off the tickets yourself, you can just show the barcode on your mobile phone. It is the easiest way to access tickets to your events. For more information visit Ticketmaster.co.nz/mobileticket For the first time in 2024, Principal Conductor Gemma New joins the NZSO to conduct Mahler's epic fifth symphony in a programme stacked with big ideas. Salina Fisher's Kintsugi was inspired by the Japanese tradition of mending broken pottery with golden seams of lacquer - a fine metaphor for "embracing 'brokenness' and imperfection." American composer Adam Schoenberg was inspired by both the climate catastrophe threatening our natural world and the ancient use of percussion in storytelling. From this, his percussion concerto Losing Earth was born. We welcome its dedicatee, San Francisco Symphony's Principal Percussionist, Jacob Nissly, as the work's brilliant soloist.

Most enjoyable,especially coming from someone who usually goes to rock concerts.
Adding Schindlers List as a bonus track was a treat.
Gemma New was dynamic as the conductor,a refreshing change from the usual elderly gentlemen,who you usually see.Anne Sophie Mutter was great too.
Only negative,although the performance of the violin concerto had quality,we felt it went a bit too long.
But bravo!
