2013 <strong>KBB</strong> <strong>Music</strong> <strong>Festival</strong> Honours Orchestra<br />
Formed <strong>for</strong> the <strong>30</strong> th <strong>Anniversary</strong> Celebrations, the Honours Orchestra is a group of student musicians<br />
who will come together on Friday 23 August to rehearse from 4:<strong>30</strong>pm to 7pm, then per<strong>for</strong>m “Jupiter”<br />
from Holst’s The Planets at the Holy Trinity Cathedral. The Planets is one of the largest works in the<br />
standard repertoire, and the full original version will be per<strong>for</strong>med. The Orchestra will also play “Kiwi”<br />
from Forest Sketches by New Zealand composer David Woodcock. All participating music departments<br />
were invited to nominate students of grade 6 standard or higher on Orchestral or Concert Band<br />
instruments to take part. This is an opportunity <strong>for</strong> all contributing schools at the <strong>Festival</strong> to come<br />
together collegially <strong>for</strong> a large scale per<strong>for</strong>mance of the sort that very few musicians would have the<br />
opportunity to participate in during their lifetime. The group will undertake an intensive rehearsal of the<br />
work, followed by a free per<strong>for</strong>mance <strong>for</strong> parents, teachers and the public at 7pm.<br />
