2025 Symphonic Workshop

Vaughan Williams: Symphony no 2 (London)

Brahms:  Academic Festival Overture


 Chilton Saint James School, Lower Hutt
 Friday to Sunday, 29 - 31 August

Orchestral director: Mark Carter

Summary of the weekend

The theme for this year's workshop was keep counting as we discovered the wonderful expressive moments in Vaughan Williams's Symphony no 2. We played movements 1,2 and 4. Counting was also important in the Brahms Festival Overture with great parts for all the orchestra. Highlights of the weekend were the sectionals with NZSO tutors.  With this helpful instruction and Mark's guidance, the works came together and the final concert was the culmination of a memorable weekend of music making.
