Two music icons. Three & a bit centuries apart.

Alexander Shelley Conductor

Whirimako Black Alto

Joseph Nolan Organ

Bach Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 565

Philip Glass Symphony No. 12 Lodger

The NZSO’s three-day celebration of music concludes with a voyage across the centuries.

Joseph Nolan, dubbed “indisputably one of the world’s finest organists” (Limelight), performs Bach’s outstanding and immediately recognisable Toccata and Fugue in D minor. Nolan then joins the NZSO, conductor Alexander Shelley and Alto Whirimako Black for Philip Glass’s Lodger Symphony, based on the David Bowie album of the same name.
