Lamb & Hayward Masterworks: Orchestral Classics

Experience the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra performing some of the most beloved works of the orchestral repertoire.

Under the baton of guest conductor Sarah-Grace Williams, our orchestra takes centre stage, performing the hits – some of the most beloved works of the orchestral repertoire.

From the breathless opening to the rousing finale, Dvořák captures the essence of a bustling carnival in Carnival Overture, where excitement and revelry fill the air. It's a perfect showcase of Dvořák's mastery in painting vivid musical landscapes.

Grieg’s Peer Gynt Suite No. 1 will whisk you away on an emotional journey through Norway’s fjords, with lush strings and stirring melodies.

Tchaikovsky’s Capriccio Italien then ignites the stage with its vibrant, Italian-inspired brilliance, capturing the fiery spirit of Mediterranean life.

Dive back into the vibrant and colorful world of the Mediterranean with Rimsky-Korsakov's Capriccio Espagnol Suite, an exhilarating work bursting with Spanish flair, energetic rhythms, and dazzling orchestral solos.

Saint-Saëns' Danse Macabre, also known as Dance of Death, then conjures a thrilling midnight dance of skeletons, blending eerie melodies and playful spookiness. It's a mischievous, spine-tingling celebration of the supernatural.

Your journey through the orchestral hits displays the brilliance of the orchestra with Britten’s The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra, a captivating piece that highlights each section of the orchestra in a fun and playful way – perfect for music lovers of all ages.
