NZ Symphony Orchestra fans are being offered the chance to pre-book early for a series of Tauranga concerts next year.
"By pre-purchasing for these three concerts, Tauranga concertgoers will automatically become a season ticket holder with a range of exclusive benefits. They are
also able to add Hamilton concerts to their subscription if they wish," NZSO Chief Executive Christopher Blake said.
"We are delighted to offer Tauranga this opportunity," he said.
Mr Blake said great masterworks will feature in the NZSO's 2016 season as the Orchestra launches an exciting partnership with Edo de Waart - one of the world's most acclaimed conductors.
Mr de Waart will begin his tenure as the NZSO's Music Director by presenting a Masterworks series, featuring concertos and nine major symphonies by Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, Mahler, Elgar and Richard Strauss.
