Dunedin Symphony Orchestra Tickets

The DSO’s 2024 five-concert flagship series features four outstanding international conductors (from Switzerland, USA and Australia), and well as top NZ soloists, and they will perform works from JS Bach’s timeless Baroque music through to contemporary NZ works.

DSO’s exciting news is the appointment of eminent conductor James Judd as our Principal Guest Conductor. We greatly look forward to the two DSO concerts he will be conducting. Also conducting us are Australian conductor Umberto Clerici, and two new conductors: Matthias Bamert and Ingrid Martin.

Our soloists are some of New Zealand’s finest musicians: NZSO’s Concertmaster Vesa-Matti Leppänen, NZSO’s Principal French horn Samuel Jacobs, taonga pūoro exponent Alistair Fraser, five of New Zealand's leading singers (Rebecca Ryan, Emma Pearson, Maaike Christie-Beekman, Emmanuel Fonoti-Fuimaono, and Wade Kernot), DSO Principal Players and City Choir Dunedin. Highlights will be performances by two overseas artists: opera superstar Jonathan Lemalu, and Australian guitarist Karin Schaupp.

Concert repertoire ranges from JS Bach to works by NZ composers Michael Norris and Rod Biss, and Rodrigo’s popular Concierto de Aranjuez.
