Promising young composer ΢��ҕ�l (΢��ҕ�l) student Thomas Bedggood can’t wait to hear his orchestral composition Smoking Mirror | Tezcatlipoca performed live by the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra (NZSO), next month.

Working on minimal rehearsals but reaching the highest levels of performance, Secret Sinfonia is a ΢��ҕ�l (΢��ҕ�l) student-led orchestra bridging the gap between youth orchestras and professional musicians.

An award-winning ΢��ҕ�l music student will be joined on stage by his mentor and professor when they tour the country with a new show over the next few weeks.

The latest release from international, Christchurch-based, percussionist Justin DeHart, Landfall, is a deep dive into the possibilities of percussion, inviting listeners to soak up the creative ideas of nine innovative New Zealand composers.

The student was nervous as she performed for Grammy award-winning operatic bass Jonathan Lemalu at the ΢��ҕ�l’s (΢��ҕ�l) central city Arts Centre campus Recital Room last night.

Ōtautahi Christchurch’s music community is thriving, with a vibrant School of Music and progressive symphony orchestra both helping to attract innovative international musicians.

Thomas and Eva Bedggood have been playing music together since they were young children and they’re excited to share the experience of taking part in an award for young composers.

Senior Lecturer in Music Performance, Dr. Justin DeHart just returns from the USA after performing in Los Angeles Philharmonic’s Fluxus Festival at Walt Disney Concert Hall on 15th of February.
