Manukau Symphony Orchestra Presents Pastorale
Sunday 25 August 2025, 5.00pm – Due Drop Events Centre Manukau FISHER (NZ) – KINTSUGI FOR ORCHESTRA BEETHOVEN – TRIPLE CONCERTO C MAJOR BEETHOVEN – SYMPHONY NO. 6 'PASTORALE' Uwe Grodd (conductor) NZTrio | Amalia Hall (violin), Callum Hall (cello), Somi Kim (piano) The Manukau Symphony Orchestra invites you to Pastorale – an inspiring evening of music that celebrates nature, healing, and musical innovation. Opening the concert is Kintsugi by award-winning New Zealand composer Salina Fisher. Originally commissioned and premiered by MSO in 2022, this luminous work has since captivated audiences worldwide with performances by major orchestras in the UK, New York, and Wellington. Inspired by the Japanese art of mending broken pottery with gold, Kintsugi is a poignant meditation on imperfection and resilience. Beethoven's radiant Triple Concerto follows, featuring the renowned NZTrio with violinist Amalia Hall and her brother Callum Hall as guest cellist – a rare opportunity to hear two of New Zealand's finest musicians perform together, joined by pianist Somi Kim. The concert culminates in Beethoven's 'Pastorale' Symphony no. 6, one of the most significant and beloved symphonies of the 19th century. The work is a tribute to the countryside, capturing the tranquillity, joy, and calm of nature alongside its raw power. A nature lover himself, Beethoven spent many hours walking in the country, and his symphony reflects the shepherd's pipe, birdsong, flowing streams, and even a dramatic thunderstorm with vivid beauty.
