SUMMARY:Bay of Plenty Symphonia presents Strings Attached
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Bay of Plenty Symphonia\nThaw the icy chill of winter with the warm glow of Bay of Plenty Symphonia’s strings in “Strings Attached” – an exploration of string orchestra repertoire from the sparkling elegance of the Baroque to the distinctive voice of New Zealand composition\, all led by conductor Lara Hall. \nThough less well-known that his Four Seasons\, Vivaldi’s Concertos for Strings RV 156 and 157 burst with the same rhythmic vitality\, expressive lyricism\, and the infectious energy that have made Vivaldi one of classical music’s most enduring favourites. Mozart’s delightful Divertimento in F is full of grace\, wit\, and effortless melodic beauty. Its elegant conversation between the sections of the orchestra offers a glimpse into the composer’s remarkable ability to combine sophistication with pure enjoyment. \nThe Bay of Plenty Symphonia is especially proud to feature a rarely heard female New Zealand composer. Dorothy Freed’s Suite for String Orchestra showcases the expressive richness and versatility of the string ensemble through music of colour\, character\, and lyrical imagination. Her music reminds us of Douglas Lilburn and evokes the New Zealand landscape beuatifully. Rounding off the performance is the ever-popular Ring Around the Moon Suite by David Farquhar\, in an arrangement for string orchestra – a lively and engaging work. \nSwapping her violin for a baton Lara Hall makes a welcome return to the Bay of Plenty Symphonia after appearing as violin soloist with the orchestra in two recent performances. A highly regarded musician known for her expressive artistry and engaging stage presence\, Hall now takes the podium to guide the orchestra through this richly varied programme\, bringing fresh insight and musical vitality to works spanning three centuries. \nDon’t miss this irresistible celebration of the string orchestra! \nFind out more
