APO | Mangopare

Flamboyant composer Gareth Farr narrates an exciting variety concert for all ages.

With the full APO on stage, you can enjoy well-loved music that range from the theme from Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake, Smetana’s Vltava (The Moldau) and ‘The Blue Danube’ waltz, to the theme tune to Pirates of the Caribbean.

To conclude the performance, we present students dancing to the APO’s performance of Gareth Farr’s From the Depths Sound the Great Sea Gongs, one of the best-loved pieces of New Zealand orchestral music. A stunning presentation of rhythm and dance, developed in collaboration with Atamira Dance Company.
