2016 NZSO-RNZ Concert-SOUNZ Recordings

2016 NZSO-RNZ Concert-SOUNZ Recordings

The works selected for the 2016 NZSO-RNZ Concert-SOUNZ Recordings project will be rehearsed and recorded over the week beginning 8 February at Wellington’s Michael Fowler Centre. Each work will be performed by the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Hamish McKeich, and recorded by Radio New Zealand Concert to create up to 60 minutes of high quality NZ orchestral recordings.

The following composers' scores were selected from submissions received from SOUNZ composers last year:

Salina Fisher: Rainphase

Brad Jenkins: The Way Out is Through

Patrick Shepherd: Lithosphere (Movement II)

Alex Taylor: bassoon concerto

James Wade: Te Matua Ngahere

This key SOUNZ project, in partnership with the NZSO and RNZ Concert, produces new recordings of orchestral music for public broadcast and online streaming. The project will also deliver a concert for invited guests to promote the works to a range of orchestras and broadcasters.
