Young@Heart3: Growing Up is Optional
Presented by: Bay of Plenty Symphonia & Youth Philharmonic Tauranga
Bay of Plenty Symphonia and Youth Philharmonic Tauranga are joining forces this June for a concert celebrating the drama and passion of orchestral music. Young@Heart 3: Growing Up Is Optional promises to be a golden celebration of symphonic brilliance at Otūmoetai College Performing Arts Centre in Tauranga.
Under conductor William McElwee, Youth Philharmonic Tauranga will perform soaring Mozart alongside much-loved Puccini operatic classics, before venturing into thrilling territory with music from Dr Who and Phantom of the Opera. Kelly Hayward then makes her Bay of Plenty Symphonia conducting debut, leading a programme of Italian passion including overtures from Mozart’s La Clemenza di Tito, Rossini’s Barber of Seville, and Ponchielli’s Dance of the Hours, familiar to many from Disney’s Fantasia.
The two orchestras then combine for a rousing finale, performing Offenbach’s famous can-can from Orpheus in the Underworld, before rounding out the evening with Bizet’s gorgeous Carmen Suite.
The concert is on Saturday 20 June at 3.30 pm at Otumoetai College Hall. Tickets are $15 for adults (*plus booking fees); Students (with ID) / Children free. Tickets are available from Eventfinda, The Strand Tauranga, Fenton St Rotorua, or by phoning 0800 BUY TIX. Door sales also available.
