From the “ching ching!” of Christmas sleigh bells in the first movement, to the beatified soprano entrance in the finale, Mahler’s Fourth is a picture of the perfect childhood. Featuring Hawkes Bay born and bred soprano Madeleine Pierard who will bring her “glowing tone and stylistic panache” (The Telegraph) to this very special symphony.  

Also featuring Gabriella Smith Tumblebird Contrails, a hauntingly evocative work inspired by the hallucinatory sounds of the Pacific Ocean.
