On April 18, the Vector Wellington Orchestra makes a vigorous start to a concert season packed full of the best that classical music has to offer in the capital. Under the baton of charismatic music director Marc Taddei, the VWO is joined by pianist Michael Houstoun and the Central Band of the Royal New Zealand Air Force.
For this season opener, the orchestra and Mr. Houstoun will be performing new music from Jack Body, "Pulse", inspired by New Guinea dance performances, plus Beethoven's first piano concerto, and Janacek's Sinfonietta with the RNZAF band for a powerful start to the season.
We have two pair of tickets for the April 18 opening concert for a competition on Eventfinder. To be in to win, tell us how classical music first caught your ear. Put your memories in the Comments section of the event page and we'll pick the winners to be off to the show.
