The dazzling French composer Guillaume Connesson captures the universe in his Stephen Hawking-inspired work. In its NZ premiere, the three movements evoke the Big Bang, the appearance of the stars, and a supernova.
On the title page of his Third Symphony, Saint-Saëns wrote the words ‘with organ’: its first appearance is a mood of quiet contemplation, but there’s a big bang here, too, when the Auckland Town Hall’s mighty instrument is unleashed – an occasion not to be missed.

Auckland Town Hall is opposite Aotea Square on Queen Street. This is along a main bus route and takes about 17-20 minutes to walk from Waitematā Station and the ferry terminal. There is parking available at the Civic carpark which brings you right to the back entrance of the venue.
