Alex Taylor Flute Concerto [WORLD PREMIERE]
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Symphony No.40 K.550

Here’s the last ACO concert for the year. Please join us for an evening of world premieres and an all-time favourite. Ben Hoadley’s “Turakirae” is an evocative and sometimes nostalgic impression of the dramatic landscape and surroundings at Turakirae. Alex Taylor’s Flute Concerto is a spectacular display of dazzling flute colours and orchestra with exotic percussion, harp and piano elegantly mixed into string and woodwind textures. And to conclude we perform Mozart’s enchanting Symphony No. 40. If only he had lived as long as Haydn – imagine what Mozart’s Symphony No. 101 would have been like!
