John Psathas: The New Zeibekiko
Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra, NZ
Sorry this event has been and gone
WORLD PREMIERE.
The New Zeibekiko, a major new work for orchestra by
internationally acclaimed New Zealand composer John Psathas,
receives its world premiere in this year's Festival. This exciting
composition embodies Greece in all its glory, representing the
iconic dance, the zeibekiko, and taking audiences on an
invigorating journey.
This exhilarating concert celebrates 2,500 years of life and
history, the personal, the passionate and the nostalgic and takes
concertgoers on a hypnotic journey, inviting responses to the
music's pulsing rhythms and ancient haunting melodies.
Conducted by Hamish McKeich, the APO
combines with two of the most intriguing Greek traditional
musicians on the world music scene - Manos Achalinotopoulos
(clarino and voice) and Vagelis Karypis (percussion, oud and voice)
- to pay homage to John Psathas' Greek heritage.
**Concessions (seniors/students) also
available.
Presented by the APO in association with Auckland Arts
