STRAVINSKY & CHINDAMO NEW ZEALAND TOUR TICKETS 2026

All You Need To Know About Stravinsky & Chindamo

This program brings together two landmark works of 20th-century music alongside a new composition by one of Australia’s most inventive contemporary composers. Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring is celebrated for its raw power and revolutionary rhythms. Premiered in Paris in 1913, it depicts a pagan ritual culminating in a sacrificial dance, and its intensity famously provoked outrage at its first performance. By contrast, Ravel’s Pavane pour une infante défunte provides a delicate and lyrical counterpoint, evoking the grace and elegance of a long-lost Spanish dance.

Central to the program is Are there any questions?, a new Australian work by MSO 2026 Composer in Residence Joe Chindamo. Inspired by the final line of Margaret Atwood’s dystopian novel The Handmaid’s Tale, the piece explores narrative and emotion through contemporary orchestral textures. The program offers audiences a journey across time, style and storytelling—from Ravel’s ethereal lyricism, to Stravinsky’s intense drama, and Chindamo’s imaginative modernity.

Prepare to stretch your imagination in unexpected and striking ways. Maurice Ravel’s ethereal Pavane pour une infante défunte conjures delicate, long-lost melodies that might once have inspired a young Spanish princess to dance. Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring, which also premiered in Paris, tells a far darker story. The ballet builds to the frenzied, driving rhythms of a sacrificial dance—so intense that its debut famously sparked near-riot.

At the centre of this program is Are there any questions?, a new Australian work by MSO 2026 Composer in Residence Joe Chindamo. Taking its title from the final line of Margaret Atwood’s haunting dystopian novel The Handmaid’s Tale, the piece receives its first performance here, offering a narrative-rich, thought-provoking orchestral experience. It is music designed to encourage audiences to reflect deeply—both on the world around them and on the inner worlds within themselves.
