Orchestra Wellington's Rachmaninoff 3: Melancholy
Hi Neighbours – join us on Saturday 17 October as we continue our season with a delightful triple-header.
We kick off with Josef Suk’s generously melodic serenade, which contains a capriciously dance-like second movement. Music Director Marc Taddei will, as ever, conduct our players through the performance, which includes Prokofiev's brilliant first piano concerto.
The concerto is performed by internationally celebrated pianist and cherished Wellingtonian Jian Liu, before we round off the evening with Rachmaninoff's beautiful third and final symphony.
Tickets start from $40, and the concert will take place at 7:30pm at the Michael Fowler Centre.

General Manager, Orchestra Wellington
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
