About This Event
Child Policy: This performance is not suitable for children under six years old. Children aged 16 and under must be accompanied by a caregiver who attends the event with the child. Conductor --- Giordano Bellincampi Violin --- Benjamin Beilman Lilburn --- Drysdale Overture Nielsen --- Violin Concerto Mozart --- Symphony No.39 'Poised and monstrously talented' (Philadelphia Enquirer), the tremendous young violinist Benjamin Beilman joins the Auckland Philharmonia for what promises to be a definitive performance of the powerful, rugged concerto by Giordano Bellincampi's compatriot, Carl Nielsen. Studying in London, homesick, Douglas Lilburn wrote a tribute to the isolated farm in the Turakina Valley where he grew up; it's incredible that this was a student work. Mozart's translucent, sunlit symphony rounds off the programme with weightless elegance.
