The NZSO Soloists - directed by Concertmaster Vesa-Matti Leppänen - explore time and place in a chain of gem-like pieces for strings. This is your chance to enjoy the interplay and spontaneity of your Orchestra in some intimate moments. Vesa has selected a programme of music from the 18th to 20th Centuries giving the NZSO’s principal musicians a chance to shine as soloists.
