What are the prize details for this competition?
Win tickets to see Bay of Plenty Symphonia players Concert - Bay of Plenty Symphonia players are in the final stages of rehearsals for their next concerts on August 9-10.
The event, from Tauranga’s only community orchestra, features marimba soloist Yoshiko Tsuruta, the only dedicated marimbist in New Zealand.
BOP Symphonia is thrilled to have the opportunity to accompany her in a lively, Spanish-inspired concerto by Castelnuovo-Tedesco.
The marimba is a keyed percussion instrument with a mellow, deep sound, not often heard in a classical setting.
Yoshiko won several prestigious competitions in New Zealand and Japan, before moving to Europe to study with one of the world’s top marimba players.
Many children are introduced to the marimba at school these days, and will certainly enjoy seeing and hearing such an expert performer on this instrument.
Referring to the keys of the marimba and supporting programme, with songs written in major keys, the event is titled Major Keys, and is supported by Legacy Trust.
The orchestra will open with Wagner’s ‘Siegfried Idyll’, written after the birth of his son Siegfried, and will conclude with Beethoven’s jubilant 7th Symphony.
