Description

Daniel Verstappen is a Belgian pianist and composer known for blending classical music with a contemporary sound and sensibility. He's toured the world and has played with artists from Andrea Bocelli to the The Beach Boys. His latest trip to New Zealand has him teaming up with the Aotea Youth Symphony, for two concerts that are part of the Auckland Arts Festival. From there he'll take up an artist residency at Queenstown's Te Atamira centre and Daniel will be performing at other venues around the country - you can find details here. It's a big year for the Aotea Youth Symphony - it turns 40 this year. Joseph Harrop is a long time member - his dad Paul has been the Symphony's musical director from the beginning. Both Daniel and Joseph join Kathryn to talk about the collaboration, and share some music.
