Gautier Capuçon Live with the NZSO

New Zealand Symphony Orchestra presents
Gautier Capuçon Live with the NZSO

"Young, French, and devilishly gifted" The Times, London

"Astonishingly beautiful" The Independent on Sunday

After his extraordinary performance as part of the Sibelius Festival last Friday, French cellist Gautier Capuçon continues his national tour with the NZSO this week.

A talent of phenomenal proportions, Gautier Capuçon's breathtaking sound and his technical genius have critics all over the world reaching for superlatives. Earlier this year the prestigious Gramophone Magazine declared that "at 27, he has the musical world at his feet. Superb. Magical".

Don't miss the opportunity to hear him perform the sublime Saint-Saëns Cello Concerto No.1 in a programme which also includes Bartók's dazzling Concerto for Orchestra, conducted by NZSO Music Director Pietari Inkinen.
Wellington (This Saturday 26 Sept)
Auckland (Sat 3 Oct)

Gautier also performs Richard Strauss' tone-poem Don Quixote, a masterwork for solo cello and orchestra. It's a work that demands absolute virtuosity to bring out its wonderful riches and technical fireworks. There's also an opportunity to hear two works from the Sibelius Festival - the magical Symphony No.2 and Tapiola, his most celebrated tone-poem. The Dominion Post dubbed last Friday's performance "magnificent"

Hear this historic performance in Napier (Weds 30 Sept) Hamilton (Thurs 1 Oct) and Auckland (Fri 2 Oct) Whatever you do in the next two weeks, don't miss this extraordinary opportunity to hear one of the world's huge musical personalities and a true virtuoso.
