On Sunday 14 June at 5pm, at the Auckland Town Hall, we are presenting a stunning combination of choral works by Johannes Brahms!

José Aparicio, our guest conductor for this concert, is a native of Spain with an inspiring presence as a conductor and a musical style influenced by his experience in opera and orchestra ensembles across Europe and New Zealand 🙌

The beautiful Brahms repertoire in this concert will be complemented by the unique and seldom-performed Siegfried Idyll as well as the song cycle from Manuel de Falla's El amor brujo 🎶
