Youth perform classics
The Whangārei Youth Orchestra, comprising 40 young musicians from around Northland, will perform at Kerikeri's Turner Centre on Saturday from 2pm.
The concert will feature works by Mozart and Brahms, with Humperdinck's overture to the opera 'Hansel and Gretel,' and 'Danse Macabre,' by Camille Saint-Saens, with violinist Maia-Dean Martin. Soloists Daniel Morrison and Tania Priebs will perform two duets from Mozart's opera 'The Magic Flute.'
The mostly school-aged musicians, will be supported by Whangārei Youth Music committee members and parents, who play some of the harder-to-find orchestral instruments. Tickets to Saturday's concert cost $20 for adults, $15 senior citizens, $10 students (18 and under), and $50 for a family of two adults and two children.
