The Michael Fowler Centre was packed to the brim for last night’s New Zealand Symphony Orchestra at 70 anniversary celebration. The three hour extravaganza featured works by Dvorak, Strauss, Brahms, Prokofiev and Gareth Farr, all chosen by the players to reflect the concerts they treasure the most. Peter Mechen was in the crowd.
