In the words of a well-known whakataukī: — Mā whero, mā pango ka oti ai te mahi. With red and black the work will be complete. Alert levels and border restrictions meant that the NZSO was unable to tour for much of the year and was only able to bring a few international artists, conductors and overseas-based employees into the country. Nevertheless, the Orchestra remained acutely conscious of its obligations under the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra Act 2004 to offer audiences live and recorded performances of symphonic music performed to an international standard, along with encouraging the development of New Zealanders’ knowledge and appreciation of orchestral music, promoting and encouraging local musical composition and composers and offering performance opportunities for our musicians. What’s more, it focused on delivering Minister Carmel Sepuloni’s clear expectation “to see the NZSO continue to explore new and innovative ways of connecting with the people of New Zealand and supporting the cultural sector” (Post Budget Letter of Expectations 2020/21, 1 June 2020). Consequently, the NZSO moved with speed and professionalism to digitally stream regular concerts and performances – as well as education Megan Molina, initiatives – from the beginning of the nationwide Second Violin lockdown in March and throughout the year. 4 5 By providing solace, inspiration and connection Housing the other anchor tenants, Te Kōkī/ to a great many New Zealanders at a time New Zealand School of Music and Orchestra of isolation and uncertainty, we were able to Wellington, the NMC will provide the NZSO with contribute to national, community and personal its first-ever permanent home, enabling the wellbeing and demonstrate our special place in the entire NZSO team to be located in one place cultural life of Aotearoa New Zealand. and, through state-of-the-art recording facilities, Due to reduced touring costs and other enable the NZSO to realise significant commercial savings as a result of the one-off and specific opportunities.

If we could go back in time and say to those on the battlefields “guess what happens here in 100 years” – would they believe us? If we said the same thing to those fighting now, would they believe us? Would we believe ourselves? We now wage war on our own species. But even at our worst, humanity and empathy continue to survive. Our story culminates in acts of kindness: soldiers from opposing sides, ‘enemies’, offering each other water, a cigarette, a shoulder to lean on. Even – incredibly – in what is surely one of the most bizarre and dangerous inventions of the human mind: a place called no man’s land.

  • A Brief History
    A BRIEF HISTORY Seven decades of entertaining New Zealanders Orpheus had its genesis in the founding of The Hutt Valley Music Society in 1947, and under the direction of Malcolm Rickard was officially named The Hutt Valley Orpheus Society in 1952. The first concerts took place in the Hutt Valley High School Hall, with a mainly English repertoire. Performances of the Messiah became an annual event and the Alex Lindsay String Orchestra accompanied the concerts in a relationship which was to last until the early 70s. In 1958, concerts with the National Orchestra (now NZSO) under the baton of John Hopkins, became a regular part of the Choir’s schedule. 1959 saw Orpheus record the Berlioz Childhood of Christ, and perform Mahler’s Resurrection Symphony, followed by Verdi’s Requiem in 1965, and Beethoven’s 9th Symphony in 1967. The words ‘Lower Hutt’ were dropped from our name in 1962 as more and more concerts were performed in the city. In 1985, we became known as the Orpheus Choir of Wellington. Peter Godfrey ONZ took over leadership of the Choir following Malcolm Rickard’s retirement in 1983. He continued to broaden our repertoire. Major works introduced during Peter’s tenure included Elgar’s The Music Makers, Hymnus Paradisi by Howells, Handel’s Israel in Egypt, and the Berlioz Requiem. Orpheus has regularly staged several of its own concerts annually, it has also enjoyed engagements with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra and Orchestra Wellington. 1 Our Music Directors Since 1992, the Choir has enjoyed six Music Directors, who have all opened up new horizons for the Choir.
