Shed Series Heritage

Shed Series – Heritage is a great way to unwind at the end of a busy week. Grab a drink, sit back, relax and enjoy as we present a concert that takes us across the globe. We journey through Brazil, Scotland, India and New Zealand with music that reflects the diverse backgrounds of the musicians of your NZSO.

Opening with two movements from Jack Body’s Rainforest, Section Principal Percussion Leonard Sakofsky then performs his arrangement of the Brazilian choro Tico-Tico no fubá. Nicholas Hancox performs New Zealand composer Salina Fisher’s Reflect, before we head to the Scottish Highlands for Wolfstone’s Jen’s Tune with flautist Kirstin Eade and guest Brendan Eade on bagpipes. Leonard Sakofsky returns to perform Malavika Gopal’s arrangement of Shakti’s La Danse du Bonheur before we end with the World Premiere of Rosie Langabeer’s drawing fire from the well.

All proceeds raised will be donated to the The Arts Foundation Future Fund, which will help give artists a leg up.
