A Symphonic Odyssey
New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, NZ
Sorry this event has been and gone
An exhilarating and inspiring concert taking its cue
from Stanley Kubrick's magisterial 1968 movie 2001: A Space
Odyssey. In this Festival show, the Symphony Orchestra
launches into a programme of orchestral greats and modern
masterpieces of beauty and vibrancy.
In this special Festival concert, NZSO's Music Director Emeritus
James Judd unleashes his creative energy on a selection of work
that restores the true meaning of the word awesome.

The virtuosic vocal ensemble, V8, joins the orchestra to bring the
concert to a stunning finale. Layered with V8's superbly-crafted
vocal pyrotechnics, the Orchestra will take audiences on a musical
joyride through three masterpieces featured in the soundtrack of
2001 and Berio's Sinfonia, the musician's tribute to Samuel Beckett
and other great literary masters.
