Community Classics North: At the Movies

Conductor Vincent Hardaker
Presenter Kevin Keys
Piano David Li
Piano Dylan Tang
Guitar Posenai Mavaega
With Auckland Gospel Choir

Join Auckland’s orchestra for our popular Community Classics across Tāmaki Makaurau!

Celebrate cinema as the orchestra plays extracts from memorable movie soundtracks, including The Piano, The King’s Speech and Lord of the Rings.

Plus, the premiere of a special orchestral arrangement of the Samoan Hymn Medley from the film TINĀ. Composed by Igelese Ete and arranged by Thomas Goss, this moving work will bring together the full force of the orchestra with Auckland Gospel Choir and guitarist Posenai Mavaega (featured in the original soundtrack!).

New Zealand actor Kevin Keys will guide you through the concert, bringing an extra level of insight to the music and movies.

Emerging young Kiwi artists take centre stage, with Haydn Staples Piano Scholar Dylan Tang performing a solo from The Piano and rising star pianist David Li performing a beautiful excerpt of Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1.

Gather the whānau together for an uplifting afternoon of music for everyone.

This event will also feature a pre-concert performance in the venue foyer from North Shore Youth Music at 2.15pm!
