The NZSO National Youth Orchestra are performing next month at the Isaac Theatre Royal as part of their summer concerts series. The orchestra is made up of mostly university students and the standard of musicianship is high. Teenage prodigy Matthias Balzat (who has been playing cello since the age of three) will perform under the baton of conductor Guy Noble.
The pieces performed will be:

- Elgar: Cello Concerto in E minor, Op. 85
- Dvořák: Symphony No. 8 in G major, Op. 88
