Add an element of mystery to your next concert experience. The New Zealand Symphony Orchestra will stage a special event in Christchurch where the music to be played is only revealed just before the concert begins.

The show, Daily Catch, has been so popular in Wellington, the NZSO has decided to bring it to Ōtautahi for one night only, this Friday 29 April. Here's the basic idea: you pick up a free ticket, knowing you'll be treated to a famous piece performed by a trio of Aotearoa's best musicians. Once you're seated and comfortable at Christchurch Town Hall, the trio will reveal what piece they're playing.

This concert features NZSO concertmaster and violinist Vesa-Matti Leppänen, section principal cello Andrew Joyce and associate principal viola Alexander McFarlane.

NZSO Chief Executive Peter Biggs says the Daily Catch series was first devised so the orchestra could perform live to limited audience numbers under the Red setting. “Our players love nothing more than performing in front of a live audience and they were eager to look at other ways where we could perform live during our 75th anniversary year."

Tickets to Daily Catch on 29 April are available for NZSO Members only and are free.
