Peter will conduct two performances with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra on 9 October in Wellington’s Michael Fowler Centre. The concert, made up of six relatively short pieces, will include Mozart’s Il Seraglio Overture, the Ball movement from Berlioz’ Symphonie Fantastique and the Liebestod from Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde. Peter will introduce each of the works (with illustrations from the orchestra) – a formula that proved immensely popular with audiences in 2011. Peter comments: “This is a playlist programme – six absolutely wonderful pieces of music that should excite newcomers to symphonic concerts as well as those who already know that experiencing the Liebestod live is an experience not to be missed.” All the pieces to be performed are drawn from the NZSO’s 2013 season. The concerts are at 12.30  pm and 6.30 pm. They are free but ticketed. (Tickets are available from Ticketek.)
