Show description

Bring the whole family to this matinee concert celebrating wild animals and creepy crawlies with Bret McKenzie and the NZSO!

It’s a bug’s life in Roussel’s The Spider’s Feast, a suite depicting the insects found in a garden. This special performance moves from the garden to the Aotearoa New Zealand native bush with Giant Wetas, Huhu Grubs and all the fluttering life found in the forest. This work is guaranteed to make the kids laugh, smile, and squirm! 

Oscar-winning songwriter and funny man Bret McKenzie narrates a staple of kids’ classical music: Saint-Saëns’ Carnival of the Animals. Come for the bouncing kangaroos, gliding swans, and galumphing elephants – and stay for the great music.

Tune in to the rest of the 2025 season of the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra
