There are sure to be giggles and growls galore when hilarious comedy dance troupe, Dynamotion, reunite with the Auckland Philharmonia for two performances of a new fun, riotous children’s production, Peter and the Wolf with Dynamotion on 8 June.
For this family friendly retelling of the beloved musical classic, Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf, Dynamotion’s Lara Fischel-Chisholm, Tom Sainsbury, plus some of the finest dance comedians Aotearoa has to offer, will narrate this comical, interactive production about the hunt for a wolf on the loose, with a Kiwi twist.
Combining the best of comedy and live music, Auckland Phil’s full orchestra will play alongside Dynamotion and illustrate the story using different instruments to play the well-known themes that represent each character.
Following on from the success of 2023's Carnival of the Animals, these Auckland Philharmonia concerts in partnership with Dynamotion have become a must see for primary-aged children and are sure to have their parents and caregivers chuckling along too. There are also free, fun pre-concert family activities on offer before the show.
Then, later this month, kick off your Matariki public holiday with an unforgettable evening of hip hop and symphonic musical fusion at Matariki with Ché-Fu & The Kratez. For one night only, on 27 June in the Auckland Town Hall, Kiwi music royalty, Ché-Fu and his band The Kratez, will join forces with Auckland Philharmonia’s 70-piece professional orchestra.
This is an exciting opportunity to see diverse musical genres combine into one evening of exceptional music making. At Matariki with Ché-Fu & The Kratez, Ché-Fu and his band The Kratez, will perform many of their classics we know and love including ‘Fade Away’, ‘Misty Frequencies’, ‘Hold Tight’ and many others, reimagined with full symphonic styling and the power of a full-strength orchestra.
Needing little introduction, Ché-Fu is one of the New Zealand’s most successful and beloved recording artists, with more top 10 songs than any individual in the country’s music history. He is considered a pioneer of hip hop and Pasifika music in Aotearoa. Last year, tickets to the orchestra’s Matariki concert sold out, and with one of Aotearoa’s best-known hip hop, R&B and reggae artists performing with them this year, it’s sure to be just as popular.
For those who like a more boujee concert experience, there’s also limited VIP tickets available to this Matariki concert that include access to best seats in the house and an exclusive VIP Lounge with a private bar, two complementary drinks and delicious platters.
