Brent Stewart is a multi-talented musician:  not only does he conduct numerous New Zealand orchestras, but he is also Music Director for Wellington’s Orpheus Choir and a percussionist in Orchestra Wellington.   Luca Manghi is well-known to Dunedin audiences as the orchestra’s Principal Flute and also as a popular soloist with the DSO.

The DSO’s strings will be to the fore in Mozart’s exquisite Divertimento.  Then Gounod’s charming and quirky ‘Petite Symphonie’ will showcase the talents of the DSO’s talented woodwind and brass players. The full orchestra comes together for the final work in the programme, Schubert’s joyful, lyrical and energetic Symphony No. 3.
