Soloists include; astonishing 12-year-old New Zealand rising star Shan Liu on piano, and Tomomi Johnston, tenor saxophone playing the premiere of a work by New Zealand composer Adrien De Croy.
This concert will also present a performance by the Prize Winners Emmanuel Fonoti-Fuimaono and Katherine Winitana and Runner Up Maeve Herd of the inaugural Nicholas Tarling Aria Competition.
A selection of well known songs from Leonard Bernstein’s West Side Story and the exciting Star Wars by John Williams will round out the concert, which we believe will be an absolute cracker!
