Connecting people who love music and people who make music.
To mark the 75th anniversary of the NZSO, 10 New Zealanders were asked to choose a piece that sparks a strong emotional connection. 10 musicians from the NZSO give their own intimate insights into how that music works.
(2) Dame Kiri Te Kanawa is one of New Zealand’s most acclaimed international opera singers. She reflects on her career, which took place mostly in the UK, and talks about the deep feelings stirred in her by Elgar’s Nimrod. NZSO cellist Bridget O'Meeghan explains why the piece has the power to move us as intensely as it does. (Bird of Paradise, NZSO, RNZ)
